Sad news from RoadPeace today.
Dear Friends and Supporters,

It is with a very heavy heart that we are writing to let you know that, effective from 9th January 2026, RoadPeace will sadly have to stop its crucial work for road crash victims and close permanently.

The drunk driver of GU17OBK smashed their car into the pedestrian crossing on Denmark Hill during the early morning rush hour. There are 2 lanes each way on this road by the junction with Acland Cres, but they still managed to destroy the crossing.

What we call things reveals a lot about our priorities and biases. Graphic via @reenamahajan.bsky.social
Graphic noting that people walking are called “vulnerable road users” as are people cycling. While “vehicles” are considered neutral and normal. But what if drivers were called “dangerous road users?”

A bike rider uses the pavement to avoid the pick up truck LP73ODM parked on the pavement and on double yellows. The route is used by hundreds of school children. Why isn’t there a protected bike lane along here? @jamesmcash.bsky.social @richardleeming.bsky.social @margynewens.bsky.social

A @limebike was seen on the pavement yesterday. In other news, a driver drove over the pavement on Adys Rd, mounting a bell bollard to stop drivers going on the pavement and flipping their car over.

Brilliant to join up with Rosendale Clean Air on a glorious #bikebus. Hundreds of children cycle to school in West Dulwich & face close passes and road danger daily. These children deserve their bike lane - @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social please don’t keep them waiting! #cycling #schoolrun

Another driver ignores the many signs and drives through the new Dulwich Square There is no traffic light for vehicles, so exiting he will be driving at cyclists turning in. At least this one hasn’t covered his number plates and so should get a ticket from Southwark @jamesmcash.bsky.social

⚠️Only bollards stop drivers parking on the pavement. But the risk of getting a ticket acts as a deterrent. The driver of white van OV23BBF mounted and then parked on the pavement on East Dulwich Grove. @jamesmcash.bsky.social @margynewens.bsky.social @richardleeming.bsky.social

On a drive out of Dulwich, it doesn't matter if the speed limit is 20, 30 or 40, you will still see dangerous drivers who ignore the speed limit. But 20mph limits reduce crashes and reduce insurance premiums for drivers.

The only realistic solution to the dangerous parking on Alleyn Park is a school street. BMW drivers dropping off at @KingsdaleFS and @DulwichPS are at it again, driving over the signs to remind drivers about dangerous parking.

In 2024 esure were the first insurance company to reveal that default 20mph limits in Wales had reduced damage claims by 20% with a £50 reduction in premiums than otherwise would have been the case. Now others are showing 20mph = fewer crashes = lower premiums. See 24:30 mins in to BBC R4 Today.

Drivers are often using the loading bay as diagonal parking, so no doubt some massive truck pushed it over and didn’t think twice about it.
