Default Cecil Road, Enfield

Hi all,

This bus route is one-way, and is wide enough for two lanes. However, a
series of bollards and the like prevent one lane from being used,
effectively turning it into a single lane road. There never seems to be any
parking on the closed lane, and I suspect it is banned. There is very little
pedestrian traffic along the road, except at the 2 zebra crossings.

Buses often get stuck in the traffic queue here, and could benefit from a
bus lane where the unusable lane is now. I can't see why the road isn't
two-way, or one-way with a bus lane. Does anyone know why it is the way it
is? I can't think of any similar road anywhere.

anywhere.

I recall (20+ years ago) this road was two lanes but still part of the
one-way system. It was made single lane after several cars ended up in the
front rooms of the houses at the 90 degree bend (outside the town park
entrance). The brickwork flowerbed was constructed and the left lane fitted
with bollards to make it cycle only. I guess now they'd just put a camera up
to slow people down. Then it was all done with design

Regards,
Dave
