STOP TfL’S PLAN TO GRIDLOCK HOLLAND PARK ROUNDABOUT

TfL are proposing a third cycle lane on Holland Park Roundabout which already has 2 well-used, historically safe cycle routes.

TfL’s scheme will remove 3 traffic lanes creating congestion on the roundabout and on local residential streets.

Less than 12% of residents and 30% of cyclists support it.

Residents have developed a better alternative – upgrading the existing cycle routes which are popular and historically safe.

BUT TfL can only go ahead if LBH&F Council approves this scheme.

THE ALTERNATIVE

TfL’s Proposal

  • Less good for cyclists
    • Less flexible route
    • More traffic lights
    • Pushes cyclists into traffic
    • Unlikely to attract new cyclists
  • Less good for other road users due to increased congestion
  • Disruptive & costly to build

Residents Proposal

  • Better for cyclists
    • More flexible route
    • Fewer traffic lights
    • Helps cyclists avoid traffic
    • Likely to attract new cyclists
  • Good for other road users as no increase in congestion
  • Less disruptive & costly to build
