I recall vividly years ago that the traffic light phrasing for instance are not quite in favour to motorists (peds light used to be quite long) under Ken Livingstone.

Ed's right. Red Ken destroyed the traffic flow in many parts of the city prior to the Congestion Charge. I lived in Bermondsey at the time and prior to Red's antics the traffic flowed smoothly and predictably, once he got his hands on the light sequencing, closed lots of back streets, made roads one way, it all went to pot pretty quickly

That was a financial deterrent. Do you have examples of intentional gating (apart from Olympic ATM) ?
