We answered
Our ref: FOI-0227-2122/GH
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 30 April 2021 asking for information about green signs, and for providing a photograph of the sign you are referring to.
Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy.
Unfortunately we do not hold the information you require. The sign you refer to was installed by the London Borough of Enfield for their Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN). You may therefore wish to refer your request to LB Enfield at: https://new.enfield.gov.uk/contact-us/ask-for-council-information/
If you are considering submitting a further FOI request please think carefully about whether the request is essential at this current time, as answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. Where requests are made, please note that our response time may be impacted by the current situation.
If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
