Green Lanes doesn't seem any different to normal which is a little surprising.
Not to me. Green Lanes is already very close to being at full capacity, if it's not already there or over, and there just isn't much scope for it to get more congested at peak times.
Also, basically, people aren't stupid. If what they've been doing doesn't work any more, they start to do something else. They will not simply stubbornly persist in driving when significant permeability for driving has been taken away, even if temporarily. They'll switch modes instead or go somewhere else. The temporary congestion along Endymion Road would also ease over time if the filter at the bridge was kept in place.
I can see that the worry about more large vehicles along Wightman Road may well come true, though, once the works are completed.

I see what you're saying re: the traffic.
I believe there is an intention to do another traffic survey whilst the road is closed to see what difference this makes.
Green Lanes doesn't seem any different to normal which is a little surprising. Endymion Road and Turnpike Lane seem to be severely backed up at the moment though.
The fear is that with the bridge strengthening there may be more large vehicles along Wightman Road.
