Richmond Park was closed today, I believe for some event, and that was indicated by signs at the entrances to Ham Gate Avenue and Church Street. I wish that the park was closed to traffic more often, despite the impact this has on local roads.
The traffic problems caused by the park's closure were exasperated by road works with traffic lights in Upper Ham Road and drivers' being stupid. This section of the road was blocked by north-bound traffic going passed the lights even though their exit was not clear so the south-bound traffic could not move when their lights changed to green.
Some drivers thought that the easy way around this was to drive on the pavement (as I was walking along it) but you do not fix one wrong by making another.
