Of course.
Is it feasible?
What should all the HGVs on the road do if they were caught in traffic when rush hour began?
How much would this impact construction or other industry that requires the ability to move heavy loads?
Of course it's an option, but the ever so simple solutions tend not to win approval as they can be defeated by attacks from too many directions.
There's a lot of things we can do, and the one I like the best (as it is hard to defeat) is just to say that we should bring back the controls that were in place during the Olympics.
For, if it worked to massively promote cycling and public transport, and limit traffic flow, across London, when London was most busy... then it's been proven that it works. Hard to argue against something proven to work fine.
