I support/endorse all of the above. You have to have eyes in the back of your head it is a nightmare! Speed cameras also need to be installed in Durnsford Road
Permalink Reply by Emma Killick on June 22, 2017 at 18:00 It's cars blocking the intersection or going too fast to try "beat" the red light that are infuriating and dangerous. Because it is a large intersection the blocking means it blocks many many people and leads to further delays (and beeping!) and the speeding means they can gather quite a bit of mph to get across it. If the entire intersection had the yellow criss cross junction box markings (and a camera) I think this would help.
There has been a discussion on this site in relation to implementation of a box junction. There would need to be pressure from the Haringey side of the junction predominantly. The queuing across the junction seems to be a result of the general increased traffic along Brownlow Rd which regularly seems to jam up along its length.

An aggravating factor was the relocation of the 102\299\184 bus-stop further down the Brownlow Road creating a bottleneck, whereas the old stop had a pull-in that at least allowed traffic to pass
I think that is an aggravating factor, wonder what a long-term solution could be? A better transport interchange between the tube station and the buses would be possible if Haringey CPO'd the land in front of Latham Court. A development of the site might include social housing to replace Latham Court although I guess the height of the building may be restricted by the tunnel beneath.
