Forum topic: Stonard Road traffic reduction measures under review

Text of email to residents from Richard Eason, Healthy Streets Team, Enfield Council

You will be aware that the temporary 'traffic filter' had been in place for some time on Stonard Road. The purpose of this is to reduce the volume of westbound traffic using Stonard Road as a cut through between Green Lanes and Hoppers Road, avoiding the traffic lights at the Green Lanes / Hedge Lane junction.

The Council has received mixed feedback. Some residents have suggested that better enforcement is needed. Others have highlighted that the scheme has not prevented significant volumes of eastbound traffic using Stonard Road to cut between Hoppers Road and Green Lanes.

The Council has decided to review the scheme and will be undertaking further consultation to help inform the development of revised proposals. This consultation will be launched later in the year. In the meantime, the Council have remove the existing planters and signs and will conduct some further traffic monitoring as part of the review.
