Finsbury Park Junction is the 5th most dangerous Junction in London for Cyclists. (LCC 2023) . It was estimated over 2000 cyclists travelled east-west along Seven Sisters road here daily in 2023, and that number is very likely higher now that Cycleway 50 has been built.
The Junction :
This junction is part of a key route on Seven Sisters road / the A503, with few alternatives for cyclists due to the park and railway lines. While Cycleway 50 has added safety to and from Camden, it unfortunately gives up heading North-East and stops short of Finsbury Park junction itself.
As the junction is on a TFL (Transport for London) managed road, and at the intersection of three separate boroughs (Hackney, Haringey and Islington), we call on all these responsible parties to work together to make the junction safe for all users.

The junction itself is part of a complex gyratory including Blackstock road and Rock Street, and is dominated most times of the day by HGVs (1000+) and buses (1400+), not to mention cars (16,000+) and vans (5000+) [DfT Counts]. The lack of protection and separation from these motor vehicles makes it unsuitable to cycle on for anyone except the most brave and confident, as well as being unsafe for those that do cycle there.
