Traffic Constipation At The Angel
On Tuesday, I went to the Angel, with the intention of doing some shopping and then got tuck in an enormous traffic jam.
Note.
- In the end I abandoned the bus and walked.
- It looked like it was all caused by emergency roadworks at the Angel.
- These happen regularly, as Islington’s water pipes aren’t the best quality.
I believe traffic jams at the Angel will get worse, when the Silvertown Tunnel opens, as this will encourage trucks to take routes through Central London, when the Dartford Crossing is busy.

They mess with the traffic light timings to create delays and discourage traffic. Then this is used for justification to enlarge and increase congestion charging.
