I have made some changes to the area you are concerned about. I had one of my engineers attend site last weekend and he confirmed that the balance of queuing was unreasonable. Our Urban Traffic Control system uses sensors in the road to allow the traffic signals to automatically respond to increased traffic flows. We have therefore changed the parameters of the signals (how they respond to the sensors) at London Road / Honor Oak Road to allow a more responsive green time for Honor Oak Road, allowing more time if needed for this road. Hopefully this should remove the excessive queuing on Honor Oak Road.

You also mentioned the issue of queuing along the South Circular. I have looked into this during my observations, unfortunately due to the time of year I did not see any incidences of this however I am aware this does occur. I have therefore looked at the overall amount of green time given to each set of traffic signals which are linked along the South Circular in Forest Hill. This has been increased allowing the signals in Forest Hill to automatically increase the overall green time in the area when needed.

The multiple parameter changes at London Road / Honour Oak Road should in conjunction with the Forest Hill Signal area changes ease the issues you identified and in doing so decrease delay experienced in the area. I will make a note and observe the situation again in a few weeks to see if the changes implemented are efficient.

I appreciate that these are short term solutions but they should prove effective. Can I suggest that you make any observations you wish over the next few weeks and then when the schools go back we could perhaps meet on site then to look into any further mitigation?
