Feb 02 2020 09:20 PM The proposals do not deal with the problems. Residents being ignored. Feb 02 2020 08:46 PM Heavy traffic will be forced into residential areas causing pollution and sppeding vehicles. Feb 02 2020 08:15 PM Plans are hopeless. Instead prevent non essential traffic access from Tottenham Lane to Park Road. Feb 02 2020 07:36 PM Scheme will divert heavy traffic onto residential class C roads = more pollution and more danger. Feb 02 2020 07:34 PM Pedestrianise only during office/shopping hours, otherwise it may become bleak, & menacing at night. Feb 02 2020 07:30 PM Good as long as doesn’t create traffic backlog or use of backroads Feb 02 2020 06:54 PM Unclear what you are proposing. The area works well as a crossing area already. Feb 02 2020 06:44 PM It needs to be a London wide strategy not one where the traffic & pollution are shunted further away Feb 02 2020 06:35 PM DIverts traffic to WIghtman. Undoes earlier plan to reduce traffic . Air pollution. Feb 02 2020 04:50 PM I don't believe there is a problem Feb 02 2020 01:59 PM Tottenham Lane sometimes congested.Due mainly to parking on both sides of the road. Feb 02 2020 01:54 PM Too complicated Feb 02 2020 01:09 PM Action required to protect pedestrians and reduce on street parking Feb 02 2020 12:34 PM There is no consideration for where the traffic will go and the devastating effecT on other areas Feb 02 2020 11:43 AM It depends where the traffic will go. I don’t want to see increased traffic past the schools. Feb 01 2020 10:37 PM The knock on effect, if traffic was rerouted, could make surrounding areas less 'livable' March 2020 Liveable Crouch End: Strategic Design Questionnaire Report – appendices Feb 01 2020 07:43 PM Changes may make traffic worse on outskirts of area Feb 01 2020 06:59 PM Changes will impact emergency services and refuse collection Feb 01 2020 06:47 PM Any changes in one neighbourhood has an adverse impact on neighbouring communities Feb 01 2020 06:17 PM Proposals should not displace traffic to Turnpike Lane & Wightman Rd- unfair and unequal Feb 01 2020 04:38 PM I think it’s ok as it is except the crossings are a bit complicated Feb 01 2020 03:48 PM Traffic restrictions will seriously affect local shops which are already having a tough time Feb 01 2020 10:21 AM you will ruin access for pleasure and business Feb 01 2020 07:06 AM traffic diverted to surrounding roads with less capacity congestion and increased emissions Feb 01 2020 07:02 AM I think better provision is needed for cyclists AND pedestrians Jan 31 2020 10:30 PM More beneficial further down Tottenham Lane, closer to the schools, cinema and other services. Jan 31 2020 07:39 PM Depends what improvements are Jan 31 2020 06:36 PM I'm concerned about traffic just being pushed into other areas, rather than reducing car use. Jan 31 2020 04:37 PM Will affect business already struggling high street Jan 31 2020 02:52 PM Concerned proposed reduction method will push traffic into The Ladder, already heavily burdened. Jan 31 2020 02:24 PM There would be a significant increase in traffic in other areas Jan 31 2020 01:37 PM I am concerned about losing trade Jan 31 2020 11:51 AM especially on Wightman Road Jan 31 2020 11:16 AM Will make traffic worse in adjoining neighbourhoods. Issues are excessive parking on narrow streets Jan 31 2020 10:22 AM Er, I didn't say that I wasn't supportive so not sure why this has come up Jan 31 2020 08:18 AM Traffic fumes will build up in the other streets. What is the point here? Jan 30 2020 11:39 PM I think you're trying to shift traffic to less affluent areas ie wightman road Jan 30 2020 10:42 PM Any changes will make the traffic in neighbouring Harringay worse! March 2020 Liveable Crouch End: Strategic Design Questionnaire Report – appendices Jan 30 2020 09:08 PM Safety —Closure of Middle Lane made crossing Clock Tower area very unsafe Jan 30 2020 09:04 PM live in Harringay, think it would be unfair to send extra traffic from Crouch End to where I live Jan 30 2020 08:41 PM You want to close main roads to make way for a small number of people who do not like vehicles Jan 30 2020 08:40 PM Impact on traffic to wightman rd increasing it heavily Jan 30 2020 08:18 PM It will make traffic worse in other areas, like Whiteman Road Jan 30 2020 08:06 PM I think changes will displace traffic to nearby areas Jan 30 2020 07:38 PM If buses are affected, kids who go to Highgate Wood and Hornsey School have no direct route. Jan 30 2020 07:35 PM If closed & traffic is displaced, which of us are going to suffer from an increase in this traffic? Jan 30 2020 07:29 PM I worry this will divert traffic to already congested roads Jan 30 2020 06:04 PM I don't want traffic rerouted to my area Jan 30 2020 12:11 PM Displacing traffic from main Crouch End routes - residential streets likely to be more congested. Jan 29 2020 07:49 PM cause localised air pollution where pedestrians are concentrated Jan 29 2020 04:40 PM If you curtail traffic in Crouch End shopping area, it will have to go elsewhere but where? Jan 29 2020 03:45 PM it will harm shops at a time when many are empty Jan 29 2020 01:24 PM you cannot disinvent the car - if the clocktower is pedestrianised, where will cars go to? Jan 29 2020 01:06 PM October's test showed you do not understand how traffic flows in the area - could make matters worse Jan 28 2020 11:13 PM Ferme Park Road: traffic & speeding = dangerous Jan 28 2020 08:27 PM The Clock Tower area is a business area, already struggling. People need to be able to visit easily Jan 28 2020 01:55 PM Locals not properly consulted, will create rat runs Jan 28 2020 01:05 PM It pushes traffic somewhere

  • Traffic Noise Maps of Public Parks in Haringey May 2018
    Traffic noise maps of public parks in Haringey May 2018 This document shows traffic noise maps for parks in the borough. The noise maps are taken from http://www.extrium.co.uk/noiseviewer.html. Occasionally, google earth or google map images are included to help the reader identify where the park is located. Similar documents are available for all London Boroughs. These were created as part of research into the impact of traffic noise in London’s parks. They should be read in conjunction with the main report and data analysis which are available at http://www.cprelondon.org.uk/resources/item/2390-noiseinparks. The key to the traffic noise maps is shown here to the right. Orange denotes noise of 55 decibels (dB). Louder noises are denoted by reds and blues with dark blue showing the loudest. Where the maps appear with no colour and are just grey, this means there is no traffic noise of 55dB or above. London Borough of Haringey 1 1. Albert Road Recreation Ground 2.
