Oliver,
No, both roads have to be returned to two-way at the same time. There is a small campaign on Earl's Court Road to pedestrianise it, and have ALL traffic on WR! This is clearly unworkable, but shows the support for some change.
It would have to be all the way from Cromwell Road down to the River, (the part just above Cromwell Road might be possible to keep separate, but would probably function better in any case as a two way road)
I mentioned WR turn to Cromwell Road as that is the only point on the entire system, where there is a three-lane patch of road that is used as such.
I agree, it's the whole one-way system, or nothing at all.
I'd considered contraflow on Warwick Road, and the idea fills me with dread. The lanes are narrow, so putting a cycle lane would return it to two lanes in any event - and then it would actually function much better as a two-way street...
