Reduce “rat running” along Kidbrooke Gardens
We the undersigned of Kidbrooke Gardens urge Greenwich Council to address “rat running” and overall traffic volumes along Kidbrooke Gardens SE3. As part of the proposed "Quietways” extension, decisive action is required to reduce traffic volumes to levels recommended by TfL's design standards to ensure the route is safe for all road users.
Why is this important?
Over the last 10 years there has been a significant increase in traffic along Kidbrooke Gardens/South Row. Up to 8000 vehicles a day are using this minor residential road, resulting in increased air and noise pollution for local residents. The high traffic volumes make it dangerous for pedestrians and other road users. As the only East/West routes south of the A2/north of the A20, it is vital that the council provides a safe, healthy street to encourage families to choose “active” travel options when taking their kids to one of the 10+ schools within 1mile radius.
