Traffic and Parking in Tithe Walk
I would like Barnet Council to make proposals for addressing the problems of traffic and parking in Tithe Walk, NW7, to conduct a formal consultation within the street, and to make proposed changes dependent on the majority view of the residents.
Residents have suggested two measures which could be considered:
1. A controlled parking zone with residents only parking for an hour a day during the week to manage the problem of the road being used for business purposes
2. A ‘no left turn’ or ‘no entry’ at the bottom of the road to prevent traffic turning in from the A1. This is deemed a better alternative than making the road one way, since the latter approach is likely to lead to people driving down the road at even greater speed. In addition, this solution would still allow residents to drive up the road from their homes.
Due to other users parking on the street, it is frequently difficult for residents to park in their own street. Volume of traffic has increased substantially. This is particularly exacerbated by any minor disruption to traffic flows in the A1. Whenever traffic backs up on the A1, drivers use Tithe Walk. Given the poor view, due to the bends in the road and parking on both sides this presents a danger for children, animals and residents. It has resulted in numerous near misses.
