I've only recently moved to the area, but part of my commute is this road:
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=westbourne+terrace&hl=en&ll=51.515713,-0.180008&spn=0.012378,0.020578&sll=51.514578,-0.178742&sspn=0.006189,0.010289&hnear=Westbourne+Terrace,+City+of+Westminster,+London+W2,+United+Kingdom&t=m&z=16
On my ride home from working heading north, traffic light phasing is horrendous making it take forever, with little opportunity for filtering. I've timed it - the light stays red for a minute, before turning green for ... wait for it ... 10 seconds.
Is this just for the olympics or do I need to find a new route.
Secondly, anyone know if it's possible to ride all the way through West Carriage Drive during the olympics and if not what might be a good alternative route?
