[quote=Cajeta;627052]Why can't construction traffic happen before rush hour?
Higher wages shouldn't be the issue here.

Take cement deliveries as an example - Most of the bigger sites using readymix have deliveries throughout the day, usually being poured into a single concrete pump to raise it up the building. Concrete starts setting as soon as it's mixed and a day's worth cannot simply be delivered in the morning. Even if that were possible it would require many more trucks to deliver in your tight timeslot and what would the drivers do for the rest of the day? It simply will not work.
Additionally, what about the people that live and sleep in London. Do they really want construction sites starting at 6am or earlier?
Seriously, forget about getting trucks of the road during daytime hours. It will never happen.
