We have contacted the Metropolitan Police and the London Ambulance Service for more information as to how many vehicles were involved and whether there were any injuries reported as a result of the crash. [30] A 2007 report in the Daily Telegraph said it was the eighth worst road in Britain.

This would free up space on the surface, providing public space and extensive cycle routes and improving the linkage of existing communities currently severed by the busy road. I think the total time the connection was shut was 72 hours. The Road Board was formed in 1910 to address traffic issues, which led to the London Arterial Road Conferences in 1913–14 that revived the earlier plans. Absolutely, it’s about people firstly and how it feels to arrive in and move around Catford. I completely agree with the point in principle, Catford in particular is a nightmare. Will you update me on plans to re-route the South Circular behind Laurence House in Catford? The South Circular has received sustained criticism for congestion and pollution and is one of the least popular roads in Britain.

Southend Lane It’s not quite clear from the plans but I hope they don’t open Rushey Green for full two-way traffic. Very interesting. At West Hill the routes diverge, with the A205 going north-west along Upper Richmond Road, past the south end of Barnes Common and the home ground of Rosslyn Park F.C., then along Upper Richmond Road West, before turning north at East Sheen onto Clifford Avenue. The majority of the road is single carriageway, one lane each way, aside from a small section of dual carriageway near the Woolwich Ferry. And I don’t think this scheme will touch this problem. Perhaps via Devonshire Road and Honor Oak Road. Why going into lockdown 2 is a 'complete nightmare' for this West London hair salon, Businesses across Kingston upon Thames have given their reactions to the impending shutdown, How to apply to be Prince William and Kate's housekeeper at Kensington Palace, The royal couple have announced a new job opening, The 8 best fish and chip shops in London have been named, Two boroughs in particular have a number of excellent fish and chip shops, EastEnders fans are all predicting the same thing about Honey Mitchell and Jay Brown.

On top of that, removing gyratories in town centres are in full fashion at the moment (and rightly so), replacing railway bridges are not (and haven’t been for 150 odd years).

Which they aren’t now. The Caversham Road Rail Bridge is a great example. I may have dropped out of Politicos but I still got a spoon. As a driver it has always been a mare and to be avoided.

It is a primary road for its entire length.

At the junction with Burnt Ash Hill the road becomes urban single carriageway again, which it remains the case for most of the remainder of the route. The South Circular is largely a sequence of urban streets joined together, requiring several at-grade turns, unlike the mostly purpose-made carriageways of the North Circular. The South Circular is blocked through Catford after a crash The crash took place between the Catford Gyratory and Verdant Lane early this afternoon The road is closed both ways and traffic is reportedly stationary Hither Green

Or (and I know you’re just going to be shocked) we just all drive less and have less cars on the road and less life threatening pollution in the air.

It’s all fairly pointless if they don’t address the issue of the crossing of the two railway lines. [13], Sir Patrick Abercrombie was frustrated by the lack of progress, and in 1933 said "There is not a single complete Ring Road in the County or Region of London".

The amount of bus traffic along Lewisham High Street is abnormal. Station Approach and South Circular: starting from Catford Station, following the south circular road past Catford Bridge station and along towards the town centre, this area includes what will be the new stretch of the south circular road behind Laurence House meeting the junction with Sangley Road. [19] The Government announced a large-scale upgrade of the South Circular in the 1989 white paper Roads for Prosperity, but it was cancelled the following year after a petition signed by 3,500 local residents.

The east-west railway crossing points in Lewisham are appalling: As a cyclist - I don’t think I ever went round it and avoided it at all costs!

Progress was halted because of the war, but resumed in 1920, when it was hoped it would find work for demobilised soldiers.

The South Circular is 20.5 miles (33.0 km) long.

Sydenham There are many examples where this has been done as well with great success, for instance around Wanstead station.

Their appearance is controversial; a 2006 resident survey produced mixed results, with people believing there were either too many or not enough.

I believe to remember that the idea was also touched on by Boris’ latest musings on a transport strategy before he left City Hall. Interesting stuff. I’m imagining what a quasi-pedestrianised village centre similar to the one in Herne Hill would look like. As a result, it is frequently congested.

[20][21], The South Circular Road has long been the target of criticism over its poor capacity and lack of improvement schemes. If they did that they would probably have to block the right turn from Rushey Green into Brownhill Road completely, as well as from Brownhill Road into Plassy Road, just to avoid having the tailbacks reaching back into those areas that they want to improve as public realm. I still think that the A21 corridor from Lewisham to Bromley would make a perfect route for a tram. Lots of interesting ideas were put forward to try to deal with excessive traffic even in those days.

However, the disturbances to those who would have been affected and the blight of major roadworks around the entire area of south London on house values led to the scheme, on which a great deal of money was spent, being shelved. That will improve through traffic for those crossing Catford from Lewisham towards Bromley and vice versa.

Could romance really be on the cards for Honey and Jay?

This affects drivers, cyclists and pedestrians, all of which regularly travel along the road. The South Circular Road starts just south of the ferry terminal where the A2204 Ferry Approach meets the main east-west road through Woolwich, the A206. [6], The first section near Woolwich was under construction by 1921, as it ran on open land that was easy to purchase, but plans for the remainder of the route had not yet been decided and there were delays due to compulsory purchasing of properties. [15] Abercrombie designated it as the "C Ring" (the third ring out from the city centre); however, the high-quality road was never built and the semi-circular route was assigned to existing roads through the southern suburbs;[14] these roads retain their historic names. [18], In 1985, the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry proposed a £300m partial replacement for the South Circular that would have seen a dual-carriageway built over existing suburban railway lines between Barnes and Wandsworth Bridge, and Wandsworth Common to Nine Elms. More than an hour later, the road remains blocked and traffic is reportedly stationary.
