Poor permeabilty continues

Going down Fleet Road southbound I notice there are now “no through road except buses” signs before the “no entry except buses” signs are reached at Jenkins Lane. I don’t know whether these are additional to or replacement for the previous no entry signs, but either is bad.  As my thousands of regular readers will know I have bought up the issue of the restriction on cyclists here several times over several years. I don’t know why it persists and regard it as a clear indication of lack of consideration for cycling.

The road to nowhere

The road to nowhere, which I've blogged on many times, has opened to buses. I'm not a big bus user, but I did go on a 366 to Beckton and back on 31 March. I was trying to configure a friend's mobile phone, but I think I would have noticed if the bus went down Fleet Road, a the RTN is now called (as I noticed last year at some point, but apparently didn't note, blog, or photograph).

According to this site the buses started using the road on 9 January 2012. The writer says on 17 January) that he saw the bus stops in place, but they have been there for many years.
