Hi all,

I always thought that the reason for banned left turns was to allow
pedestrians to cross a junction which is too busy to have a dedicated
pedestrian phase. However, the left turn from Slough Lane to Kingsbury Road
is banned, and during the phase when traffic is allowed to leave Slough
Lane, traffic is allowed to turn right from Roe Green into Kingsbury Road,
so pedestrians could not safely cross Kingsbury Road anyway. So why is the
left turn banned, particularly when the ban forces traffic down Old Kenton
Lane past a primary school? There is nothing particularly unusual about the
geometry of the junction which would make the left turn dangerous or
difficult.
