Two routing promises. The street is busier than ever.
- On 3 July 2026, Checkers Sixty60 said its riders had been blocked from using our street as a shortcut.
- Since then, weekend traffic has gone up every month: from ≈223 passes a day in July to ≈288 in October (153 to 199 seen on camera).
- That is an increase of about 30%.
- Sunday 11 October 2026 was the busiest day recorded: ≈338 passes, one every two minutes.
Date: 11 October 2026
Checkers Sixty60 has made two routing promises to the residents of our street. On 10 June 2026, it said drivers had been instructed to use main routes. On 3 July 2026, it said riders had been blocked from using the street as a shortcut unless they were delivering there.
Three months later, the Checkers Sixty60 delivery bikes are not fewer. There are more of them than ever.
Weekends since the promise
Average Checkers Sixty60 passes per weekend day:
- July: ≈223 estimated (153 seen on camera)
- August: ≈231 (159 seen)
- September: ≈244 (170 seen)
- October so far: ≈288 (199 seen)
Up every month, and about 30% higher in October than in July, the month the shortcut was supposedly closed.
Sunday 11 October 2026 was the busiest day since recording began: ≈338 passes between 08:00 and 20:00, 240 of them seen on camera before 18:00. That is one Checkers Sixty60 bike every two minutes, all day, on a residential street. The previous record was ≈294, on 22 August.
Is it a fair comparison?
- Weekends against weekends. Weekends are the busiest days, and the latest recordings are weekends, so they are compared only with other weekends.
- Nothing changed on our side. The same camera, the same detector settings and the same 08:00 to 18:00 count have been used every month since June. How it works explains the setup.
- Only fully recorded days count. October has four so far, so its average will settle as more days come in.
A promise the data does not match
After two routing promises, the traffic went up, not down. A promise that changes nothing on the street is not mitigation.
The ask is the same as it has been since the start:
- Keep riders who are not delivering on our street on the main road. The alternative route takes about the same time.
- If the shortcut really is blocked, show residents the route data that proves it.
Every day's count is on the evidence page, with a photo of every bike the camera saw.
