Since the major difficulty in using these roads as a rat-run is the
traffic coming in the other direction, I would have thought making
them one-way will actually improve them for rat-running.


The measures to slow down the traffic are the ones of relevance to the
rat-running issue. The one-way system is another feature of the plans
but the phrase is being used, in an arguably sloppy fashion, as a
short-hand description for the entire development.

I believe these plans should have been realised by now. Are they not?


The tables[1] are being put in, and the poles which will hold the no-entry
signs have been installed and lit, but the signs themselves have not yet
been installed.

It seems like they are trying to push the problem over the border into
Enfield.
