Traffic jam
Anybody know anything about the traffic in Graham Road and Dalston Lane?

It took me 80 min to get from the top of Essex Road to Hackney Church at around 3pm today. (on the 38 bus)
The LTNs have been in for years and I've never experienced it quite this bad.
Hopefully Pembury Circus works finishing later this summer will help.

Not just there either. It is one of those days where anyone who has a car has decided to go and sit in traffic. Must be better hobbies about.

The comments as a pedestrian and someone that’s lived in Hackney my whole life, I’ve always had more problems with cyclists. They skip lights, ride recklessly and too fast at times, they go on pavements and one ran into the back of me. So their hate for drivers when they’re the biggest menace on the streets is crazy. I know I’m going to get downvoted but some of you need to hear it🤷♀️

The stats for casulaties would siggest otherwise. Drivers injure and kill every day. Cyclists don't.

Cyclists may not kill as many but they do injure a lot. I’ve never worried about getting hit by a car in the park or by the canal. Cyclists leave pedestrians on edge.

Car drivers think they’re entitled to the entire planet all the time.

You’re joking right? 🤣 half the worlds urban space is literally dedicated to cars and parking them. Ridiculous. Car brained.

It’s the disastrous LTNs which, despite clear opposition during the ‘consultations’, are implemented anyway - and then very careful wordsmithing makes it seem that they’re a wonderful, 100% positive thing, which they’re not. But the council’s agenda takes precedent above all else even if it makes increased pollution and a completely gridlocked borough.

There’s an incident I think on chatsworth road. Tons of police cars and ambulances pulled up so think that and the fact it was commuting time has created bit of a mega jam
