Dulwich Roads

The drunk driver of GU17OBK smashed their car into the pedestrian crossing on Denmark Hill during the early morning rush hour.

There are 2 lanes each way on this road by the junction with Acland Cres, but they still managed to destroy the crossing.

Graphic noting that people walking are called “vulnerable road users” as are people cycling. While “vehicles” are considered neutral and normal. But what if drivers were called “dangerous road users?”

What we call things reveals a lot about our priorities and biases.

We need this in Dulwich to deal with school drop off at JAGS

A bike rider uses the pavement to avoid the pick up truck LP73ODM parked on the pavement and on double yellows.

The route is used by hundreds of school children. Why isn’t there a protected bike lane along here?

A car upside down on Adys Rd

A @limebike was seen on the pavement yesterday.

In other news, a driver drove over the pavement on Adys Rd, mounting a bell bollard to stop drivers going on the pavement and flipping their car over.

Vehicles evading ANPR cameras (by covering their number plates) to drive down school streets are a common sight on the roads around Dulwich.

Where is the police action to arrest these illegal drivers?

Brilliant to join up with Rosendale Clean Air on a glorious #bikebus.

Hundreds of children cycle to school in West Dulwich & face close passes and road danger daily.

These children deserve their bike lane - @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social
please don’t keep them waiting!

Are you worried about road danger on Half Moon Lane?

A local group are keen to find out the views of the wider community - children and teenagers as well as adults - who use the key crossing points around Half Moon Lane, Village Way & Beckwith Rd.

Please contact Dulwich Village police with information.

Traders call for action on traffic Herne Hill traders today (12 June) launched a campaign to improve the area with a demonstration to highlight the fact that each year 6m cars drive through the major road junction where Norwood Road, D...

Herne Hill traders call for action on traffic.

“road data shows 48 people have been injured in collisions around the junction in the past five years. Of those, 21 were seriously injured.”

Good to see a new zebra crossing and wider pavements have been installed on Grove Vale.

This was always difficult and dangerous to cross, now much safer.

South Croxted Road - West Dulwich SE21 | Cleared at 1001hrs

Median age 34? It looks like 34 is about the youngest age in this group! Given all the grey hair, the median and average both look closer to retirement age.

Yet another crash in Dulwich involving a car mounting a pavement. This time injuring innocent pedestrians just trying to get to school.

When will we see Police action against the dangerous driving we see all over Dulwich?

Scenes from Park Hall Rd, Dulwich, this morning. We understand from local eye witnesses a driver hit a woman on the pavement who was walking her children to school.

We really hope everyone is going to be ok.

Families shouldn’t have to face this.

Road resurfacing works today and tomorrow sees the closure of College Rd/Fountain Drive.

Many vehicles are ignoring the closure signs and getting stuck trying to turn around to head back up to Crystal Palace.

The Bentley is ULEZ exempt, so maybe it is solidarity with those poor diesel drivers who now can’t pollute with their cars in London?

When can we get a school street on Alleyn Park to make this road safer for children? @jamesmcash.bsky.social @andysimmons10.bsky.social @solveschoolrun.bsky.social @southwarkls.bsky.social @airrosendale.bsky.social @cleanairdulwich.bsky.social @dulwichsociety.com

The Bentley driving parents of Dulwich Prep give a big thumbs up to parking dangerously outside the schools on Alleyn Park.

A school street on Alleyn Park can’t come soon enough to protect those travelling to Kingsdale and Dulwich Prep.

Police van parked on a zebra crossing

A Met Police van parked illegally & dangerously on a zebra crossing in Dulwich, blocking drivers’ sight lines to pedestrians crossing.

⚠️3pts and a fine for drivers.

But the police must be attending an emergency? No, just queuing for pastries from Gail’s bakery. 😡

LV22UOJ driving through Dulwich Square, a cycle lane only.

A child on a bike on the cycle lane dwarfed by a motorist driving their car on the cycle lane.

Another driver ignores the many signs and drives through the new Dulwich Square

There is no traffic light for vehicles, so exiting he will be driving at cyclists turning in.

At least this one hasn’t covered his number plates and so should get a ticket from Southwark

As ridiculous as this is, one could argue that the snorkel is critical for being able to drive the school run through the frequent floods on Dulwich Roads caused by the incompetence and profiteering of Thames Water… 🤣

A bollard has been knocked down by a vehicle on Calton Ave.

Meanwhile, the Dulwich police panel get bombarded with complaints from local anti-cycling campaigners about kids on bikes. 🤷‍♂️

A very clear response from London Fire Commissioner, Andy Rowe to a question at Fire Plenary last week from Emma Best AM about the impact of LTNs on fire brigade attendance times.

"We genuinely couldn't find any evidence of LTNs doing anything to our overall attendance times".

White van parked on the pavement with a yellow parking ticket

⚠️Only bollards stop drivers parking on the pavement.

But the risk of getting a ticket acts as a deterrent.

The driver of white van OV23BBF mounted and then parked on the pavement on East Dulwich Grove.

Exceeded escape velocity.

Only a fridge? Must have been carrying at least a grand piano as the bus lane is really wide on this stretch of road.

Vehicle registration K13UDE

Not a difficult corner on Lordship Lane to take at 20mph, especially in a modern car with traction control…
