Danger at Crogsland Crossing

A warning to anyone who uses the cycle crossing over Chalk Farm Rd at the junction with Crogsland Road. Northbound vehicles continue to move across the cycle track in conflict with cyclists using the green signal. In spite of signal changes in 2009, this crossing is still hazardous; will we ever have a sensible solution to make this simple and useful crossing safe? Click the thumbnail to see an enlargement.

Go Dutch Campaign

Camden Cyclists want to encourage the council to follow up on the Go Dutch campaign. Some ideas were generated at the August 2011 meeting. We then asked Camden Council to use Go Dutch principles in their plans for a two-way Tottenham Court Road. See our notes on discussions with Camden officers in November, February and May.

Permeability Campaign

For cyclists, permeability is about being able to ride through a network of streets in the most direct manner. Unfortunately, routes are often made longer by one way streets and forbidden turns.

The No Entry sign left, with an cycle exception subplate is now permitted by DfT for some locations. This one in Princess Road was the first to be spotted in Camden (April 2011). Now there are many (March 2012)

Dec 2010: Kings Cross: See our suggestions Consultation Nov 2011. Implemented most of it Feb-March 2012.
