Lewisham Safer Streets

Creating quieter and safer residential streets to support walking and cycling

As traffic volumes return to pre Covid-19 levels we would like to continue to maintain quieter and safer spaces for walking and cycling on residential streets. This will help to provide safe and attractive alternatives to the car for as many people as possible. A review of the initial phase of "modal filters" introduced to reduce vehicular through traffic on the busiest cut-throughs across the borough is underway.
