TfL to introduce bike lane trial along A23 from Oval, Brixton and Streatham (including Brixton Road) – Brixton Buzz

... TfL will also be moving forward with further upgrades to the key CS7 cycle route, which is one of the most heavily used routes in London and has been improved during the coronavirus pandemic to support thousands of essential journeys in southwest London and beyond. The latest changes, between Oval and Elephant & Castle, will include:

  • New cycle wands to segregate the existing cycle lanes on the westbound and southbound approaches to the Camberwell New Road/ Kennington Park Road junction
  • New two-stage turn road markings for cyclists turning right at Camberwell New Road/Kennington Park Road/Harleyford Street junction, and early release signals for cyclists on the Camberwell New Road and Harleyford Street arms of the junction
  • Wider bus lanes to make it easier for people to cycle in them
  • Some changes to parking and loading bays on Kennington Park Road and Newington Butts
  • A restricted left turn from Kennington Park Road into Kennington Lane (westbound) for all traffic except cyclists and Emergency Services, to reduce the likelihood of conflict between motor vehicles and people cycling
  • New and longer bus lanes will match the existing 24-hour trial operation to enable essential cycle journeys at all times ...
