I live in Wormholt N1 Consultation Group but my real ''get moving'' issue is the Hammersmith Roundabout. My office is on the roundabout and I am continually amazed at how it becomes logjammed causing a ripple effect all round west London. There needs to be some form of yellow boxes at all entrances/exits to stop people ''jumping lights'' and getting caught in the traffic flow of the next junction. I have on occasion had to get out of the underground car park and ask cars to move to get the traffic flow going. I have also asked policemen to intervene but they say it is a council issue. A consulation needs to take place on how to improve, the solutions are easy as far as I can see as somebody who sees the traffic on this roundabout on a daily basis and at different times throughout the day. Also, having had at least one fatality on the roundabout with a cyclist and many more accidents with them and pedestrians it seriously needs to be looked at as does the one way section at the bottom of Hammersmith Grove. With regard to NI consultation area I think removing the bumps would be better - ok people go faster but what about damage to our cars.

In the late 1980s H&F Council introduced zonal parking to help manage the borough's escalating parking problems. No system is perfect and there are issues with every kind of parking scheme - especially in a small, densely populated inner London borough. The last time we had a borough-wide consultation on parking 72 per cent of residents voted to keep the zonal system. There is no evidence that this broad consensus has shifted. It would cost more than £1 million to change the current system and even if such a huge sum was available - which it is not - new problems would be created. Residents who live near tube stations, in town centres or near major venues would face serious problems from commuters from other parts of the borough. A zonal approach is the most effective way to address demand around venues that attract a very high footfall e.g. Westfield. It is also possible with a zonal system to tailor restrictions to suit the area. There are no easy solutions to parking stress but if issues are arising locally within zones we will consult residents fully on appropriate ways to improve the management of the zone.

Yes, the council's transport team is monitoring and considering all of the comments we receive from residents. The best ideas and suggestions will be debated publicly at a Get H&F Moving Transport Summit later this year and, where appropriate, incorporated into council plans and discussed with TfL to improve our transport network. We are extremely grateful for all of the comments that we have received so far and we are regularly checking this page - so please keep them coming in!

now that the western congestion zone has been abandoned it is now difficult to exit CAVERSWALL ST,NASCOT ST or enter these roads during rush hours as the traffic is backed up at (now free to enter) nth pole road. We also have traffic attemting non existent short cut through EYNHAM RD.

The time setting at the junction of North End Road and West Cromwell Road needs adjustment to allow more vehicles to turn into West Cromwell Road westbound from the North End Road southern reach. Far less pedestrians use the westside pedestrian crossing, but enjoy the same duration as that for the eastside where many more use. I recommend that the southern half of the westside crossing should be allowed less duration for pedestrian to cross, and the saved time should be added on for traffic from the North End Road to proceed westbound. In addition,cameras should be OPERATED at this junction to discourage motorists getting stuck in the marked junction boxes and causing gridlock. Mini, multiple roundabouts at road junctions have proved a success in some places. But definitely not at the junction of North End Road and Lillie Road. I would like to be shown a computer simulation of traffic flow at this juction. Commonsense tells me what is currently there is WRONG.

I live on Dawes Road, I found the traffice getting worst and worst by double deckers both routes 211 and 295 so noisy that we never live in peace and quite and all the main road are splits and damaged and my house also suffer from the vibraration and shaking from all the vehecles passing by especial London buses. Can you make another route of the buses go to munster road or other roads instead of Dawes Road please. My house had all craked and window moving from vibrations just like living in the earthquake and so much noise from traffic and dubin cars start since 6.00 a.m. in the morning. Please also build the HUMP to slow down the traffice along Dawes Road urgently because so many children have to cross the road to their schools from DAWES ROAD., There are so many accidents along Dawes Road. Please help us and other pensioners along Dawes road to live in peace and quite before we die please. Nowsaday it was so noisy and so much vibrations like living in the earthquake in our house.

Does anyone actually read these constructive comments? I mean anyone who can do something about it, not just the people who take the time to write on here? There is no info on this page to suggest so, it just says ''Your travel stories and experiences are published below''. So, is this just a forum for venting frustration rather then being of any use?

The alphabet streets should be made one way (alternating in direction for each street ofcourse). They are clearly too narrow for two cars to pass each other. 90% of the time you drive down one of them you have to pull in to let cars pass - time consuming and frustrating, especially with selfish drivers who don't want to stop. This would also reduce damage to parked cars when people try to squeeze past each other.

One permit for one borough. Just like Kensington & Chelsea. I go to Charing Cross Hospital twice a week, I use all the local parks every day to walk my dog, go swimming twice a week and want to support my local businesses. However, at all of these I have to pay for a metre, even though I am a borough resident using borough facilities. The new 'cheap ticket' for Fuham Road is great, but not long enough (it should stretch the whole of the Fulham Road as not enough spaces)and the times the same as the other metres (I got a ticket for parking there at 9.20a.m, having been issued a ticket, to discover parking starts after 9.30. Very confusing. Wandsworth machines only work and show times for the periods a ticket is required. One permit, one borough is the fairest option, and have machines, like Hounslow, that issue 10-15 mins so we can 'pop' into shops. Why should it cost me £1.10 to buy a stamp or pint of milk. I drive out of the borough each day to Chiswick, Putney or Richmond where all these boroughs do not charge for the privilege of dog-walking. Play fair H&F.

Cedarne Road to Fulham Road traffic light crossing. This light takes far too long to become red / green man, then when it does it stays on it for far too long. Each day I see people dice with death trying to cross this part of the road as they haven't the time to wait the 3 minutes or so the lights take to go onto green man. Equally have seen car jump the lights as they're so frustrated with the length of time its red. It needs re-adjusting, turning go green man quicker and for less time. Before someone gets killed.

Why does Hammersmith and Fulham have so many parking zones ? How about helping small businesses by simplifying zones - perhaps just 4 zones or something. Its a total rip off to charge £2.80 per hour for parking when in Notting Hill its just £1.20 per hour and is a far more desirable place to live. Cut the zones, help business thrive. Looks at the success of Kensington and Chelsea.

In response to R Winterton - Transport for London (TfL) has confirmed the 30mph speed limit on the Westway is temporary, though the organisation cannot say when it will return to its usual 50mph. The speed limit decrease was put in place three weeks ago, while repairs to replace expansion joints on the flyover bridge were carried out. It will remain 30mph until more substantial repairs are finished. A TfL spokesman said: "Although the bridge is still safe for drivers to use, further repairs will be carried out as soon as specialist parts can be manufactured, which we expect to be a matter of weeks. Once full repairs have been completed, the temporary speed limit will be raised."

If Hammersmith and Fulham has the most congested roads in London and H&F Council wants to get us moving then there's one answer not yet considered - reduce the number and scale of developments proposed for the borough. Each one brings in more people and more traffic.

Clear the roads in Hammersmith and Shepherds Bush, whizz up to the Westway to head for the city centre - and find the speed limit on this motorway standard road has been reduced by 40%, from 50 to 30 miles per hour. May as well have stayed in a jam in W6. Where did this change come from? Do LBHF support it?

Overspill parking in to zone V on QPR match days is a big problem that needs addressing.

The council needs to address the problems of congestion in Kelvedon Rod. Too often it becomes gridlocked and results in unnecessary pollution (noise & fumes). It is also bad planning to have a heavily used road adjacent to a school for small children. Kelvedon Rd should be made one way, logically that would be northbound, thus allowing the emergency services to proceed efficiently from their bases (southbound has a lower priority). This is long overdue and should ease frustration, improve health (not least of irate drivers stuck in the traffic there) and improve traffic flow. On the subject of traffic flow, I see no point in the plethora of road narrowing structures; they only serve to increase congestion with all the resulting aggression.

1) Hogarth Roundabout - traffic coming on A4 west bound into London regularly jump first set of lights consequently blocking the roundabout for traffic crossing roundabout. This in turn results in blockage across A4 east bound at Hogarth roundabout caused by traffic trying to cross into Hogarth Lane. Whilst not in the borough (?) this has a knock on effect down the east carriageway of A4 slowing traffic down as far as Hammersmith flyover and the traffic coming off the gyratory and at rush hour causing complete standstill. Camera at Hogarth west bound would stop light jumping and yellow box at roundabout would help keep it clear.
2) The exit on west bound A4 (below Hammersmith Flyover)now has a continuous lined box to filter traffic into a single lane causing big tailbacks along the A4 west bound as it is more difficult to exit. Before this was done there used to be a broken line box which meant drivers could use their discretion on how best to get into the second lane at this exit and traffic was able to leave A4 more easily reducing tailbacks.

Making Margravine Gardens a one way road with access only from Margravine Road would perhaps improve the huge amount of traffic that bottlenecks within this area during the rush hour.

Chelsea match day traffic is terrible. To stop vehicles coming, a restricted parking arrangement needs to be implemented in Parsons Green like in the alphabet streets around Craven Cottage. Continuous and apparently un coordinated works taking place on Fulham Palace road and Fulham road have a massive impact on west London traffic, needs to be seriously regulated.

Improve the juction at the top of Bagleys lane and harwood road. The traffic lights sequence causes problems. Harwood Terrace needs to be widened and gaps in road to allow cars to pass. Its usad as main route due to cars not being allowed past imperial warph station. If cars were allowed to use Lots road then the congestion at imperial road would improve.

I absolutely agree 100% with N1ngN1ng on 8/2/11. The left turn north from North End Road west onto Talgarth Road is a huge bottleneck. At virtually no cost the pedestrian crossing on the west side of Talgarth should be closed. Immediately the traffic turning West will flow, allowing blocked traffic to move both north towards Olympia and west along Talgarth road. Hardly any pedestrians use this side anyway - most are on the West Ken tube and (crazy) bus stop side ! (also causes huge problems as the road is so narrow here).

Novello St:restrict visitor parking during Chelsea matches as all places get taken up by supporters. Zones:existing restricted zones ok as help residents park close to home.Tube:add another ticket machine as too busy in rush hour;parked tubes overnight should have lights and engines switched off as disturbances throughout the night for Novello St residents plus waste of energy; keep to tube timetabling as late or early running tubes outside of timetable cause huge disturbances during the night. Introduce phone&pay parking for visitors;restrict delivery times for supermarket Budgens & Cote restaurant as vehicles block end of Novello St and residents can't get out of street;stop taxis parking/blocking end Novello St waiting for business from wine bar AmuseBouche - add sign 'no waiting'; remove some of the speedbumps up Kelvedon/Homestead/Rylston as slow traffic flow.

I have lived in Cloncurry Street since 1975 and I have made repeated calls to the Council to create a roundabout at the junction of Dawes Road and Fulham Palace Road. The chance to demolish the building at the corner (formerly Public Conveniences now an office) was unfortunately lost when the Council sold it but this crucial junction needs to be rethought - and the position of the bus stop altered to make it easier for the buses to cross a lane to turn right into Dawes Road.

Re Zone N2 - As Munster Road is a bus route and carries a lot of other vehicle traffic I would: 1) Stop parking on both sides of Munster Road. Allow only alternate blocks of parking spaces. 2) Remove speed bumps from Munster Road. Another suggestion is to make Rylston Road one way from Lillie Road to Dawes Road. There are quite often mini traffic jams along this road especially between the juntion with Dawes Road and St Thomas'' Way caused by the narrowness of the road and the number of vehicles trying to use it as a rat run. Dawes Road is more than capable of handling the traffic thereby prevented from using Rylston Road to get to Lillie Road. Other suggestions for the wider area. Get rid of the pedestrian crossing in North End Road just by West Ken. tube station and combine it with the traffic lights at junction of North End Road and Talgarth Road. Remove the pedestrian crossing on Fulham Palace Road just by St Augustines Church. This will allow a better flow of traffic into and from Talgarth Road from Fulham Palace Road.

We have a terrible problem in the Barons Court area with traffic backed up throughout the area. One of the main causes is the cross-walk light on Talgarth right after cars exiting Gliddon/Paliser and turning left on to Talgarth. Once the first cars turn and are blocked by the light, it blocks the intersection and prevent other cars from proceeding through the intersection. This in turn paralyses the whole area. The cross walk and light should be removed and people should cross Talgarth on the east side of the intersection.

Opening slip roads and scrubbing out bus lanes may help to speed up motorised road traffic but it also seems likely to encourage motor vehicle use. In recent years there have been a series of measures designed to reduce car use. For example: school travel plans, business premises travel plans both as a requirement for planning consent and as an encouragement to businesses to "green" their operations, reduce their costs (eg reducing the area of expensive given over to all day parking; reducing staff sickness). It has been observed that encouraging walking and cycling not only reduces congestion but improves health. Therefore: reinvigorate school travel plans and work more closely with schools to encourage them to discourage car travel to school; encourage local businesses to reduce the use of car travel to their premises both by staff and customers by reducing parking space and implementing travel plans; encouraging walking - making pedestrians feel safer. Don't reduce crossing times, nor lengthen red phase on crossings.

Drivers Charter! If you want to compare yourself with other boroughs start by REDUCING the number of zones! Drivers are being ripped off mercilessly by LBH&F, 27 Parking Zones is a total rip off of residents. If K&C have one zone why cant we? Hourly parking fees are unjustly far too high. Parking signs and differing rules are designed to confuse, hence more money for LBH&F. Borough Council tax payers should get disc to park for 30/60 mins in any of the reduced number of zones. "Deliver a fair deal to motorists", no more robbing us please, life is stressful enough. Too many humps everywhere. Bus lanes to be colour coded to prevent accidents when looking out for time restrictions. Yellow box to be put outside Vanston Place/Fulham Road to enable traffic to turn right easier. Buses not to block road into Lewis Trust Buildings on Vanston Place. North End Road at West Ken Stn needs something done as traffic backing up along North End Road at most times of the day/night.

I suggest a zebra square at the crossing between Dawes road and Rylston road.It would protect all pedestrians and many many children going that way to schools and Fulham pool. I also suggest to limit the end of Rylston road - from dawes road to Sherbrooke road - and sherbrooke road to dawes road - to one way only to avoid traffic jam in the morning and evening.

Some specific suggestions: The lights for the Harwood Road pedestrian crossing take too long to turn red. They should be more responsive for those wishing to cross this wide road. In contrast, the pedestrian lights by Parsons Green tube stay too long on red for cars. They should be replaced by ones that flash amber after a short while. The pedestrian crossing outside Fulham Broadway Centre is of a different design than most. It is confusing. The pedestrian phase is quite long and it is difficult for pedestrians arriving at the crossing during a pedestrian phase to decide whether it is safe to cross or not. The crossings near Barclays Bank further West on the Fulham Road are much better. Now that there is a pedestrian phase for the lights at the junction of Parsons Green Lane and Fulham Road, the humps at the junction could be removed. The no U-turn measure on Gliddon Road seems a bit tough - presumably nearby residents objected. Could not a compromise be reached by allowing U-turns at the junction with Edith Road - possibly by installing a mini-roundabout at this point?

Rylston Road becomes a nightmare road because it is too narrow to have traffic going north and traffic going south. I amongst hundreds of other drivers get stuck in this road all the time and cars and trucks are scraping by parked vehicles. If you walk down this road you can see parked cars that have scrapes and dents in the sides due to this dilemma. Please make this rd ONE- WAY!! It's a nightmare! Not to talk about during football match days. You can see cars in this rd. for hours not moving.. Crazy!

Please can there be a cycling super highway along the Fulham Palace Road / Lillie Road etc and down towards Wandsworth/Clapham? The route to Clapham from Fulham takes ages (the 295 goes around the houses, literally). Cycling would be much quicker and a cycling superhighway would help here. Hammersmith & Fulham seems to have missed out on these. Also please can we have the Boris Bikes. Obviously along the river etc this would be super and would be great to have them in the bourough.

Please can we have a river boat jetty at the unused jettys at the flats just next to the River Cafe? I have only see one boat there in 5 years. Surely this could be better served by public transport to an area which is limited and congested. This is already in existance so wouldn't even need to be built. Clearly Bishops Park would also be another good area for a river bus stop.

Please can cars be banned from parking on main roads (such as Fulham Palace / Wandsworth Bridge Road etc) on Sundays? It means that busses and cars etc are reduced to only one lane of traffic for often just a few cars which have parked on these main roads. No car then uses these lanes as they would be stuck and unable to get back into the working lane. This would seem like a very simple way to get Fulham moving. Just make these main roads no stopping at all times.

I am visitor to Hammersmith and fulham - i been there 2 years ago - i used tube (underground) but the issue is shepherd bush on central line is not accessible atm but if council forces TFL to do the install the lift between platform and street that would open up more people to use and also i could suggest making a motorbike club well that would be great - offering simllar to car club.

Many contributors talk about unclogging traffic. It's moonshine. LA tried building its way out of congestion and gave up. The only solution for a civilised city in the 21st century is to establish a hierarchy of walking, cycling and public transport with the least consideration given to the needs of cars which simply damage our health and place an added burden on the NHS. Pollution levels already breach EU safe limits. We should be doing everything we can to discourage driving, and the Council's support for the abolition of the Western Congestion Charge was irresponsible. Sooner or later we shall have to impose national road charging, given that we are doing nothing to limit population growth.

Access to Shepherds Bush Bus Central Line Tube Station for buses arriving along the north side of Sheps Bush. The times of the traffic lights and the pedestrian crossings need modifying to accord less unnecessary waiting time for the buses trying to turn left. Time of the lights for buses ariving from the east and turning right into the bus stn should be reduced.

All cars exited the multi-storey car park in Glenthorne Road are obliged to go round the interchange creating more of a bottle neck. The entrance in Glenthorne Road could also be an exit so that cars can escape down Hammersmith Grove. An exit could also be put in leading out to the side street so that cars can escape onto King Street without going around the interchange. The council owns the building next door. The exits at the moment are stupid and unnecessary and would be easy to change.

Any chance of a bike lane contraflow heading West along the southern side of Hammersmith Broadway? Currently many people are inclined to ride on the pavement as following the gyratory to get from Hammersmith Road to King Street is unacceptably dangerous for many cyclists & there isn't really any alternative.

I am retired and due to ill health live in sheltered housing in Philpot Square SW6. The only bus we have is the 424 which runs every 30 mins down Peterborough Road. Because of my disability I am unsble to walk more than 9 meters. The bus company frequently turn the busses round because of heavy traffic elsewhere. Leaving the elderly and disabled with no bus.

We rely heavly on the 424, and only last friday found out the 424 will not be coming down Peterborough Road for the next 7 days due to road works. Consequently the disabled and elderly will have to go by taxi to Sainsbury''s on Townmead Road.

2nd problem, the 424 took 23 mins to get from Peterborough Road/Philpot
Square car park to the lights at the jnct of Carnworth Rd/Wandwsworth Bridge and Townmead Road because of heavy traffic and the timing of the traffic lights for vehicles accessing Townmead Rd from Carnworth Road. I counted the sequence the lights changed every 4 to 10 seconds!!!!!

If congestion is the big problem and you want to encourage people to use alternate modes of transport instead, then why does "A key part of the council's transport plan is a 10 point Driver's Charter" put all money towards motorists and not the alternate modes of transport? How is putting money to encourage driving going to result in less driving?
To encourage less congestion surely the focus should be to design roads such that the less you're contributing to the problem the smoother the traffic for that class of transport, prioritising buses, small cars, motorcycles, and bicycles?

I would love to see the Western congestion charge zone re-instated as traffic towards Kensington has ground down to a halt since it was scrapped... buses take 15 minutes more than usual to get to South Ken along the Lillie Road/Old Brompton Road route... also extend the motorcycles in bus lanes scheme which is of great use in Westminster.

I fully support H&F, its about time something was done, running a property maintenance company, more time is spent sitting in traffic, than doing the job your trying to get to.

For 25 years road improvement has been the Cinderalla of transport spending in London.The result is that the average traffic speed in the capital is the lowest of any major European city.The Council is to be congratulated in setting out to improve traffic flow which will benefit all road users. The 3.5M car drivers in London value the freedom and flexibility that car ownership brings.Whilst the buses provide an essential public service it is only the car that enables a journey to be completed door to door.Without a car many young families and many elderly would have difficulty in travelling and their quality of life diminished.Most of the really effective bus lanes were installed over 25 years ago. Since then many more have been added of doubtfull utility. It is good to learn that the Council intend to re-evaluate all the bus lanes and remove those shown to be ineffective. This will help relieve congestion and improve traffic flow. Gordon Taylor, Chairman West London Residents Association.

Lots of good points about Fulham Palace Rd/Lillie Rd junction. How about those traffic lights are replaced with a mini roundabout - much the same as Fulham Palace Rd junction with Fulham Rd? That keeps moving nicely as long as traffic isn't backed up from Putney Bridge. This will fulfil council pledge to remove unnecessary traffic lights.

Why cannot the River Boat Service be extended to Hammersmith?

The slip road at the top of Fulham Palace Road is an excellent idea. I believe traffic congestion could also be relieved if a right hand filter was introduced at the traffic lights at the junction of Fulham Palace Road with Lillie Road. At every other junction along this road, travelling from Putney Bridge to Hammersmith, vehicles have an opportunity to turn right, but not at this major junction.

Traffic on the roads can slow down emergency vehicles and the new slip road and anything that can ease congestion is going to help us. In particular the London Ambulance Service will benefit from the slip road, with Charing Cross Hospital being here. We feel frustrated for the people who have called us. We have to respond to an emergency but the sheer volume of traffic prevents us from getting there as quickly as we would like.

The new slip road is a wonderful idea. It''s one of the few pockets of serious congestion in west London and is a real problem. I''m very pleased that something is being done about it.

The no U-turn measure on Gliddon Road is an unnecessary and mean measure.

Cars that did U-turns at that point were not harming anyone nor were they creating appreciable levels of congestion. Forcing them to take a longer route will increase congestion elsewhere for sure.

The traffic lights at the bottom of Castlenau, opposite the entrance to the wetlands is red in every direction for a very long time, whilst no traffic negotiates the junction. The phasing of those lights badly need attention as a totally unnecessary blockage builds up. I appreciate this may not be in LBH&F but it is a critical route into the borough and it would be great to persuade the relevant neighbouring council to look into the problem.

There are many more spots that could be improved, as follows:-

The top of Margravine Gardens near Barons Court tube and opposite the entrance to the cemetary, where the bicycle stands are needs to be widened. Just a few inches would release what is regularly a horrible bottleneck.

This is a great initiative from the Council. It should be praised on its desire to unclog our roads and to seek local suggestions on how to improve traffic flow. There are lots of interesting ideas here immediately and following a plan of releasing bottleneck by bottle neck should really pay dividends. However, please track progress to see how well this new policy works so we can learn from it.

Also, I fully agree with the suggestion from N1ng N1ng about the North End Road. Also the pavement at that point is a bit wider than necessary and that contributes to bottlenecking there too, most particularly because there's not quite enough room for cars travelling south to get past a stationary bus.

Is there any consideration in the Fulham Palace Road plan to put in a green, right-turn arrow northbound on to Lillie Road. Buses and cars get completely jammed here, resulting in a back up down Fulham Palace Road. Can we please a detailed plan for fulham Palace Road? Everything I have read so far is vague, sorry but as usual.....

Glad to see you're interested in sorting this problem out. I wish you took parking this seriously. I still don't feel the problem with overspill from QPR matches and Westfield into zone J has been properly considered. My feeling is that the last consultation was rejected by residents as the proposed solutions were so ridiculously complex. Just because the 'solutions' were rejected doesn't mean there's no longer a problem.

Your first paragraph about creating more car bays for Car Clubs (admirable) gives as the prime reason enabling people who don't have a car to use one. This reveals you miss the whole point of car clubs - to reduce car ownership and encourage people to choose other, less polluting means of getting around London, by assessing the best mode for each journey, which is very seldom the car.

In the 266 we have one of the most strategic and inefficient bus services in W12.W6. It is the only cross borough bus and comes all the way from Brent Cross. There should be an Acton-Hammersmith route. It serves all local schools and shopping in Hammersmith.

My first change would be to move the lights at the junction of Hammersmith Bridge Road and the Broadway back 10 yards. This would discourage drivers from pulling onto the Broadway when the lights turn red (at least three or four cars do this every time the lights change. The police would raise a bundle of money if they set up a camera there and fined all offenders. This causes the traffic flowing round the Broadway, trying to get to king Street to snarl up. Next, a yellow grid should be in place at the junction of Hammersmith Grove and Glenthorne road, or even traffic lights, and you could widen that section of road from Hammersmith Grove to the Broadway to allow for three lanes to form earlier, avoiding the constant congestion caused by the bus stop outside the station. Thirdly, I would allow the lights at the top of Fulham Palace road at the Broadway to remain on green for a couple more cars at a time, relieving the pressure on Fulham palace road. A monitored yellow grid/box on the Broadway, and moving back the lights some 5 yards.

The new crossing at the top of Fulham Palace Road will not only be of benefit to pedestrians but also to motorists and public transport, as the traffic flow should improve. This will be better than the current bottleneck we have.

Please allow Motorbikes in all Bus Lanes, as per the red route trial by the Mayor of London. This will not only ease congestion, but is also safer.

Rather than focus on cars, how about focussing on getting buses moving by giving them priority over private vehicles? Introduce HOV lanes to prevent single-occupied cars clogging up the roads. The focus of this initiative is all wrong. In a tiny urban borough like H&F with excellent public transport links there is NO REASON whatsoever to even own a car. Private car ownership needs to be actively discouraged by making it prohibitively expensive.

Two suggestions and the first should be an absolute must and long over due... 1) As you turn left from North End Road into Talgarth Road (By West Ken tube station/Famous 3 Kings pub) there is a crossing and because of traffic lights and space limited for 6 cars maximum, traffic tails back as far as Star Road on a regular basis (bad pollution, carbon footprint). The solution? Actually get rid of this crossing (pedestrians will have to walk to the long way around I'm afraid) so that vehicles can turn and go! Simples. 2) Make Fulham Road (outside Fulham Broadway tube a Red Route - right down to Stamford Bridge stadium. Also do the same for Harwood Road (the town hall side) from the junction with Effie Road right up to the junction with Moore Park road. The amount of cars that park here are a huge inconvenience to other car drivers/cyclists like myself and buses alike.
