We ask that Law Street be closed to through motor traffic at Tabard Street, with access for emergency vehicles remaining. Lansdowne Place provides a convenient turning point for any vehicle.

Decima Street and Law Street are used as a rat run between Tower Bridge Road and Great Dover Street, causing significant risks to cyclists on their sharp bends and junctions.
Vehicles routinely ignore the 20mph limit and pose a significant safety issue as they race through.

LCC policy area 2: Areas without through motor traffic
Areas where motor traffic cannot cut through side streets, while walking and cycling are encouraged. Through point closures (using bollards, planters, or trees), a residential area can be filtered, so that all parts can still be reached by motor vehicle (for deliveries, or to start or end journeys) but direct routes across quiet zones are only possible by non-motorised modes. When an area is made safer, quieter, and more pleasant, walking and cycling become more attractive choices.
