The fear is always that less motor traffic capacity will result in gridlock. It doesn't. All it results in is less motor traffic, after a natural period of adjustment. This is by nature a simple T-junction and should be designed as such.
I've notice that when I cycle home to Wimbledon in the middle of the night where the road is nice and quiet.
Occasionally I seen car sped at the max speed limit (if not more) of the road, for example, I've seen says, 10 car sped past in says, between 5-10 second gap of each other going at 30-35mph in a 30mph road.
After a minutes approaching a junction, all the car already in a (abet mini) traffic jams of 17 cars waiting for the light to change.
At first I though it's simply because of the traffic light being there that cause the traffic but I'm starting to think that it's the speed of the vehicle (going over the limit) that cause it by trying to get from A to B as quick as possible.
