The Central London grid

Forgive my cynicism, but unless Boris/TfL are actually planning to physically do something to those roads, how are they going to be any different to how they are now? I mean, does telling people "Back streets exist!" actually count as an achievement?

Speed limits are pretty meaningless without enforcement, and I've lost count of the number of times I've encountered HGVs on roads which are way too small for them (Drury Lane jct with Shaftesbury Ave for e.g.) The Mayor should be restricting more of the 'quietways' to through traffic (as per Hackney), installing good quality protected lanes on A-roads, and generally kicking councils like Westminster and K&C into shape.

That was really my impression as well. New cycling contraflows are a good idea, but it would really help these if the parked cars were moved over to create a proper, protected contraflow lane.
