shows the new layout of the junction where Tunnel Avenue and Blackwall Lane
meet the A102.

http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=...2905&encType=1
shows the old layout.

The main change seems to be that previously you could turn right off the
northbound offslip and then turn left onto the northbound onslip (should you
so wish), whereas now the traffic turning right from the offslip is forced
into a segregated lane between the two carriageways which takes it past the
onslip without allowing access to it. The only reason I can think of for the
change is that they want to stop traffic from avoiding jams on the flyover
by coming though the junction... but since you can drive across into Tunnel
Avenue and do a comfortable leisurely U-turn back to the junction, only
losing a few seconds in the process, the change seems fairly pointless... I
saw some dangerous driver confusion while I was there, and the "No Entry"
text on the tarmac seems like an admission by the engineers that they have
created something baffling and dangerous.

This is also why I thought they made the change. Certain several
drivers take this route.

Whilst in principle this would be possible. In practice this would be
difficult in the morning peak as Blackwall Lane is so crowded.

However in any case, I believe there are two other ways by which
traffic exiting the northbound offslip can still enter the northbound
offslip.

First is take the middle lane on the northbound offslip (which is
signed ahead-only on the road surface) - you appear to be able to
fairly easily turn right onto the far side of the segregated Blackwall
Lane and you can then turn left onto the northbound onslip.

Second is to take the right-hand lane on the northbound offslip (which
is signed right-turn-only on the road surface) - you end up on the
near side of the segregated Blackwall Lane but for a car, it's just
possible to make a sharp left where the segregation ends and get on to
the northbound onslip (I have seen a car do this).

I
saw some dangerous driver confusion while I was there, and the "No Entry"
text on the tarmac seems like an admission by the engineers that they have
created something baffling and dangerous.


All in all, I think the engineers haven't achieved what they set out
to do. And considered the cost and inconvenience of the works, it
doesn't seem to have been a very well conceived project.

The Blackwall Tunnel was opened in 1897.

The Blackwall Tunnel was opened in 1897.


Tunnel Avenue - the main southerly connection from the tunnel until the
building of the former A102(M) - must be as old.

Anyone moving there since 1897 must have been aware that they were going
to be living on a main traffic artery.

by your pathetic little charade? It has been proven time and time
again that you are Doug Bollen of Catford.

One question, if I may: why should I care?

I assume this is some long-running uk.transport feud that has found
itself cross-posted into utl.


If you are not a denizen of uk.transport then it's probably best if
you do ignore the comments made to and about our resident serial liar
and hypocrite.


If you *are* a denizen of uk.transport then it's also probably best
if you do ignore the comments made to and about our resident serial
liar and hypocrite.


As one chooses.

In that case, may I request that those in uk.transport who make such
comments remove other groups from the Newsgroups: line when making
them. Thanks. FU set.
