The LCC Junctions Campaign is currently happening all over London, with dozens of badly laid-out junctions under the scrutiny of dedicated volunteers eager for improvement. This is your campaign--get involved today for a chance to get the bits you hate most removed from your daily commute.

Shacklewell Lane / St Mark's Rise

In Hackney, we have selected the junction of Shacklewell Lane with St Mark's Rise as the first junction to be targeted by our campaign. There has been a disproportionate number of traffic incidents involving cyclists at the left turn from Shacklewell Lane into St Mark's Rise and the junction has been a known problem for years.

For more information than you can find here, please mail Oliver Schick.

What we've done so far:

1. Junctions should function

2. Cycle count with survey of cyclists

3. Valentine's Day Cycle Count and Love-in

4. Another morning count during which we handed out survey forms

5. Report that summarises our findings (including analysis of incident statistics over the last five years) in RTF format

6. Our response (RTF again) to a development proposal for a new development (whose exit is smack bang on the junction's accident blackspot) that would cause additional danger. (Here's the map that the text refers to.)
