In your post you state that traffic calming would be detrimental to the residents of the road, you do not say detrimental to some residents of the road so the implicit assumption is that everyone owns a car, or would be against traffic calming.


I do? Where? Surely you didn't get all that from "we are already humped to death"? I'm not making a legal argument here, it's just my opinion to show that other opinions are available. You've chosen your's, so let me have mine.

the convenience of car drivers .....it involves pollution, both air and noise


Actually, the less the cars sit in jams and move freely, the less pollution caused.

I wonder if you have some suggestions to speed up the south circular abd deal with the congestion?


I don't pretend to be a traffic engineer and to have all the answers. What my work for our area may push the congestion elsewhere. I'm sure it's very complicated.

I would be very very happy if a fiull scale consulatation of all the residents of all the roads was carried out to find the best solution for everyone.



That's what I was referring to when I mentoned funding. It's likely it would cost more to do the consultation than to implement the proposed solution.

Just out of interest, tripandfuschia, do you drive? And do you live on or around Devonshire Road?
