Churchfield Ave N12:Traffic and Parking issues

We the undersigned petition the council to make Churchfield Avenue N12 a one way street, with entry only at the High Road end and therefore 'no entry' at the Woodhouse Road end (preventing the constant stream of traffic from Woodhouse Road using Churchfield Ave to avoid the traffic lights at Tally Ho). Churchfield Ave N12 Traffic and Parking issues make Churchfield Avenue N12 a one way street, with entry only at the High Road end and therefore 'no entry' at the Woodhouse Road end (preventing the constant stream of traffic from Woodhouse Road using Churchfield Ave to avoid the traffic lights at Tally Ho). The High Road end of Churchfield Avenue is restricted entry to cars travelling North however the 'no right turn' sign is being ignored. We would like the central barrier to be widened (or some similar physical barrier be put in place) to prevent this and/or a camera installed at the junction. We would also like speed restrictions to be put in Churchfield Avenue as cars are driving too fast for the size of the

The traffic and the parking situation in the road is becoming intolerable for the residents. There have been numerous road rage incidents, occasionally involving the police, as well as parked cars being damaged, due to the road being used as a 'rat run' by drivers trying to avoid the Tally Ho traffic lights and/or the one-way system. This is also due to a combination of the restricted entry sign being ignored at the 'High Road' end and Chruchfield Avenue being too narrow for two cars to pass each other both ways.

The speed at which vehicles drive down Churchfield Avenue is too fast for the road, it affects us all but is of particular concern to residents with children or elderly relatives when getting in our out of their cars, hence the request for speed restrictions.

The resident parking permit time extension would ease the parking problem as long as it is policed.
