Local Lib Dem councillor and GLA member Lynne Featherstone has welcomed news
from TfL that they have revised the weekend timings for the traffic lights
on Colney Hatch Lane, N10.
The revision of the lights at the Pages Lane/Alexandra Park Road and Colney
Hatch Lane intersection comes as part of a TfL review following persistent
pressure over the past couple of years from Cllr Featherstone. In that time
she has been approached by local residents and motorists, unhappy with the
queues generated by traffic light sequencing.
While motorists complain of being stuck in long queues regularly at the
lights, residents living on the lane and in the surrounding roads complain
of being boxed in by stationary traffic. It is hoped that the work, that was
due to be carried out by TfL last weekend (13th/ 14th November), will
alleviate the traffic build-up at weekends.
Cllr Featherstone has welcomed the news but is keen for TfL to continue to
look at ways of reducing tailbacks during the week, particularly at peak
times of the day.
Cllr Featherstone comments:
"I am pleased that residents and road users will see improvements to the
traffic chaos at the weekend. However I am still concerned about the weekday
situation and will continue to press TfL to find a solution."
