The character of Hackney
Hackney's low-traffic neighbourhoods mean many residential streets are closed to through vehicles at the ends nearest main roads, so the car often approaches from a different direction than a map suggests. Broadway Market and Mare Street narrow with market stalls and buses. London Fields has no vehicle access at all, so collections there happen from the surrounding streets. Cycle lanes on Graham Road and Dalston Lane take priority at several junctions.
- Several residential streets sit inside low-traffic neighbourhoods, closed to through vehicles.
- London Fields has no vehicle access; cars wait on the surrounding streets.
- Market stalls narrow Broadway Market and Mare Street on trading days.
- Event days in Victoria Park add significant time to journeys on nearby roads.
