Even with reduced traffic due to Covid, crossing the river has mostly been a clusterfuck all year. Hammersmith bridge has been closed for a while, and both London bridge and Vauxhall bridge were closed for months at the same time, and at the same time they were doing roadworks on WBR when it was down to one lane. So all the traffic that would use those bridges, and I don't have the figures but I'm sure they're out there, and that volume is probably huge, is pushed to the next available crossing.
So I think those alone have impacted more on traffic than the LTN's. Do TFL even consider the impact of having all those major bridges closed at the same time? I would have guessed they would, but it doesn't seem like it.
