Default Cecil Road, Enfield

Hi all,

This bus route is one-way, and is wide enough for two lanes. However, a
series of bollards and the like prevent one lane from being used,
effectively turning it into a single lane road. There never seems to be any
parking on the closed lane, and I suspect it is banned. There is very little
pedestrian traffic along the road, except at the 2 zebra crossings.

Buses often get stuck in the traffic queue here, and could benefit from a
bus lane where the unusable lane is now. I can't see why the road isn't
two-way, or one-way with a bus lane. Does anyone know why it is the way it
is? I can't think of any similar road anywhere.
