Traffic calming for rat run on Devonshire Rd

No excuses for motorists not looking out for bikes/motorbikes, but pulling out of Devonshire Road, trying to turn right onto the South Circular is a nightmare. One side-effect is that it probably dissuades some drivers from using Devonshire Road as a rat-run, as they have to wait in a queue to get onto the S. Circular.

As a Devonshire Road resident at the Honor Oak end of the street, one observation about the 20 mph zone is that it isn't well signed. For example, turning left into Devonshire Road from Honor Oak Park there's a 20mph marking on the road and a small 20mph sign but that's it. A few more 20mph road markings wouldn't go amiss. Nor would some enforcement. Most the cars passing my flat are moving at a reasonable speed but roughly 1 in 10 or so are probably doing double the 20mph limit.
