Default A406 New Southgate to Green Lanes

I was just looking at

and I noticed that Natal Road, which usefully gets you right up to the
Brownlow Rd/A406 junction without experiencing any traffic jams when both of
those roads are utterly clogged, is going to have a forced left turn to
Bowes Road, making it useless.


And anyone travelling from Arnos Grove along Bowes Road and wanting to
get onto the A406 Westbound will need to do a big loop via Warwick Road
and Bounds Green Road (assuming it's possible to turn right onto Bounds
Green Road from Warwick Road, that is) or, worse, right down to the
Cambridge Roundabout and do a U-turn!

And anyone who currently turns right from Telford Road into Station Road
will need to do a similarly huge loop via Warwick Road/Brownlow Road and
Bounds Green Road.

What is *needed* for that stretch of the A406 is a much more substantial
upgrade to bring it in line with the rest of the road, but of course
that ain't gonna happen because that would actually be *useful*.

Cheers,
