Holland Park Roundabout

I cycle through this area regularly and strongly agree with the proposed improvements, as the current cycle arrangements are not ideal so often tempted to just cycle around the roundabout on the road to save time

please don't do this. your plans will have no positive effect and will disrupt a busy and functioning intersection

Half sensible half criminal.. a better idea would be to re route cyclists through the existing underpass...Losing the lanes at some of those junctions is a criminal idea if you've ever had to get that way with a family in a car...

As usual, we can always depend on TFL to increase congestion and pollution throughout London and Holland Park Roundabout proposals are no exception. It works perfectly well how it is and does not need any more cycle lanes or pedestrian crossings, but most of all, it cannot cope with any decrease in car lanes around the roundabout, this will obviously cause increased congestion and pollution. This proposal should be stopped by all means. TFL is responsible for a huge increase in congestion and pollution in London which damages the health and livelihood of the residents and those people visiting and when this pollution information is made public it will show how much you have ruined London. What you have done to Park Lane is appalling and a danger to the lives of people who live in and visit the City. TFL are the cause of the biggest pollution in London and we deserve better.

This looks like an excellent proposal. Thanks to similar projects I have given up my car and switched to cycling for most journeys. If this proposal goes ahead it will encourage more people to do the same. It will mean that people who are thinking of cycling won't face a big detour to avoid heavy traffic on Holland Park Roundabout and Shepherd's Bush Green.

london should be made less attractive for cars , long term this will reduce motorised traffic and reduce air pollution . all proposals to make cycling and walking more safe should be encouraged and promoted .

The information presented about this change is incredibly biased. In the section "how it impacts you" there is a description of improvements for pedestrians and cyclists but no mention whatever of the effects on other road users. Has any assement been carried out on the proposals effects on the roundabouts capacity for journeys by moteor vehicles. Has any assement been made of the effect on bus journey times. If not why not and if so why is this information not presented.
These proposals will inevitably lead to considerable increases to congestion and pollution.

I fully support this.

Whilst I cannot comment directly to this proposal because I am not a resident of that area, I know this roundabout/ junction very well. I agree that some help would improve this area, but I feel as always that it will be to the detriment of drivers. Pedestrians and cyclists alike have many crossing points around Holland Park roundabout, so traffic is already built up in that area most days. Cyclists will mostly break all rules and run red lights and pedestrians crossing anyway.
Narrowing and taking away traffic lanes leads to only one inevitable consequence. More congestion, more pollution!! Something I thought TFL was opposed to.

I am afraid I could not participate in the survey because the questions and responses were biased. This prohibits participants from providing objective answers.

The proposed scheme is, in many ways, an improvement on the 2019 plans. The improved pedestrian crossings will improve safety, and the cycle lanes through the roundabout will improve safety and the flow of traffic (provided that the lights are properly sequenced...).

The removal of the traffic lane on Shepherd's Bush Green (from East to West) is ill-thought-out as it will create massive congestion on Holland Park Avenue and the A3220 (Holland Road). A better solution is to use the bus lane (s) for cyclists.

The reality is that Holland Park Roundabout is an important traffic junction for cars, lorries and buses. Reducing traffic lanes will not reduce the amount of traffic; it will create more congestion.

The proposal is two steps forward and one step back. Therefore, I object to the proposal as there is space on and around the roundabout to devise a plan that works for all road users, not just a small subsection.

I don't not know what you are doing here, but I suspect that its effect will be to obstruct traffic even more than you have obstructed it already, slowing London's economy down, costing us all, including, ultimately, the Mayor's office, money. Please ensure that you engage a competent person to consider the economic consequences of of your decisions.

I generally support the proposed changes at Holland Park Roundabout, except for one very important element which has been overlooked.

Even now, with three lanes leading from the roundabout heading West into Shepherds Bush Green, there is extensive congestion and backing up of traffic. In particular, traffic that is heading from the South onto the roundabout will not be able to flow North towards White City and out of London. Reducing the westbound carriageway down to two lanes will compound this further.

A simple solution is to introduce the new cycle lane on the roundabout as planned, but to also remove the cycle lane from the southwest corner of the roundabout, thereby retaining three traffic lanes.

Cyclists would in effect cross over and join into the new lane earlier, rather than having to share the pavement with pedestrians and then crossing over four lanes of traffic on the Green.

Great project! It would help to have a directional indicator on the video - It's initially not clear that the orientation is upside down, with south at the top and north at the bottom.

I am concerned this takes no account for how to keep traffic flowing. The new signal proposed pedestrian crossing is of specific concern. Drivers already have to go all the way around the busy green to back towards Goldhawk rd/ brook green etc, the crossing will create significant back log like near lyric square hammersmith. As a small business the ongoing cycle lane and other changes means I can complete around the 1hr 45 mins less of work a day. As my work is a dog trainer and walker this has to be completed in daylight. More slowing down of traffic coupled with councils restricting where I can train and how many dogs I can work with will certainly put myself and others out of business. This will only leave cheap cowboy operators serving the community and thus lead to more safety and welfare concerns for dogs. Please can tfl understand that some business simply cannot move to buses or on foot. Imagine me getting on a bus with a reactive dog or a group of dogs even if there was the time to do that in daylight. Thanks for listening.

Do the change and you genius from TFL start living there and start using your improvements every day!

This proposal is good for people cycling from Shepherd's Bush Green to Holland Park Avenue. I may be missing something but I cannot see how this addresses the issue for people cycling in the other direction, from Holland Park Avenue towards Shepherd's Bush Green. The existing cycle track, south of the roundabout, seems to remain the "preferred option" as there is no provision for cyclists to reach the central island on Holland Park Avenue, unless they want to cross two lanes of cars on this always-busy road. This in itself would be fine, the issue, which is not new and has been repeatedly reported for about 15 years, since the first cycle track was installed, is that on the Shepherd's Bush Green side of the roundabout, the existing cycle track goes on the pavement, along a series of shops and towards the entrance to the shopping mall, so there are always pedestrians. Further, there is no connection from the end of this cycle track to the cycle lane on the Green itself, to reach it requires crossing 4 lanes of traffic. Could the proposal be updated to facilitate cyclist transitioning, on Holland Park Avenue, from the left side of the rod to the central island so they can use the new cycle lane?

A reasonable idea - but if anything is created similar to cycle ways in King Street Hammersmith is unacceptable. Having two way cycle lanes at junctions with restricted single two way vehicle lanes is madness along with exceptionally confusing road markings. Junction of Turnham Green & King Street “littered” with road markings insults rainbow effect which I believe cost £48k - total madness & irresponsible spending of local or TfL money. Accidents will occur etc so be very very careful how this might be actioned.

The proposal will cause permanent gridlock on Shepherd’s Bush Green and along Holland Park Avenue, causing noise and air pollution for residents and visitors to the area.

Reducing traffic lanes and adding on demand traffic lights will exacerbate the problem.

Public transport will be caught up in this gridlock, putting off people from using it at a time when it should be encouraged.

Cyclists are being given undue priority in proportion to their numbers, especially given cycle lanes are already in place.

The sheer cost of the scheme is a worry when the money could be better spent elsewhere in the area.

I live in the local area and barely use my car any more in London - instead I nearly always walk or cycle. I have not found any problems getting across Holland Park Roundabout safely, as there is already an underpass on the north side and a cycle-way section of the pavement on the south side. I therefore think the proposals, which will no doubt be very expesive, are totally unnecessary and actively harmful. Reducing the number of traffic lanes on the roundabout will only cause more congestion and tailbacks up Holland Park Avenue, on Shepherds Bush itself, Holland Road and the A40 spur road - and thus more pollution. The roundabout gives access not only to the local area from the A40 and further afield from the A4 and M4, but also is a main arterial route. There comes a point where access to London is necessary for deliveries, disabled people, buses and many other good reasons. This seems to me to be a revised version of the cycle lane put forward for Holland Park Avenue which was so comprehensively rejected by residents only a short time ago. I wholeheartedly object to the proposals.

An amazing improvement to an area of the borough which has long been unpleasant to walk or cycle around. With the under/overground stations, shopping mall, green space, and other amenities all clustered around the roundabout, it makes perfect sense to develop the area in a way more friendly to the tens of thousands of people living, working, and shopping there every day. Hats off to TFL for this much-needed project.
