https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/betterjunctions/archway-junction<br><br>Not good for those wanting to go from St Johns Way to Archway Road/Highgate (including the 210 bus), I have no idea what the 210 will do?<br><br>Public space looks good though!<br>

Town centre? Which town? I use the 210 about once a month now, (used to use it every day), it's the only bus that goes to Hampstead from our side of London. Shame if it stops because of this. The whole plan looks like a nightmare for bus travellers.

There's a note saying 'the one-way operation of Macdonald and Vorley Roads will be reversed'. The 210 could continue up Junction Road and turn onto Vorley/Macdonald and then again on Highgate Hill to continue it's journey. Seems strange that Holloway Road northbound is squeezed down to one lane at Junction.

Good spot JoeV, that must be it.<br><br>It does seem a bit strange but when approaching from Holloway Road the traffic signals will be on greeen a higher proportion of the time so it won't be so bad but as the modelling says journey times from Holloway Road to Archway Road will increase from 3 minutes to over 8 minutes!<br>

Lots of other work planned for Holloway Rd and it's environs<br><br>http://www.tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/improvements-and-projects/map-of-road-projects<br><br><br>;

Yep, I've seen the Nags Head plans and they look quite good.<br>

@N19 is that the junction from seven sisters road to Camden road?

NorthNineteen

It's basically covering the one-way system around Seven Sisters Road and then round Isledon Road with some improvements to Holloway Road around the Nags Head junction.<br>

Some of the fireworks tonight make it look a bit like they're blowing up Archway Tower already.

@N19 - do you have a link to the Nag's Head scheme?<br>

Nice idea from tfl, but increasing queues by that much will just increase car pollution and noise on Holloway Road and mean even more rat-running up Hornsey Road. Pretty poor of TfL not to point that out in their consultation material...
