Lib Dem GLA Member and local councillor Lynne Featherstone has asked to meet Transport for London officials to discuss traffic jams at a busy Highgate junction. Ms Featherstone says that the junction of Archway Road and Shepherds Hill needs action to reduce long rush hour tailbacks, increase safety for pedestrians and enforce the ‘yellow box’.

Ms Featherstone wants TfL to look at the phasing of the traffic lights, and take action to reduce havoc and danger for pedestrians caused by the failure of some drivers to observe the yellow box. Ms Featherstone says it is clearly a case for cameras and enforcement.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“We have had several complaints from local residents about the junction, and it needs looking at again. I will be meeting TfL on the site, and will be pointing out the need for better enforcement measures.”
