Poking through the map around the areas I know (Holborn/Soho/Oxford St. to points west and southwest), I am left with the following impressions:
1) Looks like they are primarily looking at routes with low bus usage - I could be wrong, just a general impression
2) London does not ever give you a reasonable road route from A to B. This would mean longer journeys for some cyclists
3) This looks exactly like a short cut/rat run route map for black cabs. The vast bulk of the traffic I've encountered on the proposed roads are taxis. A potential source of conflict?
On a similar note - most of the worst driver behaviour I've personally encountered has been primarily on the smaller side streets. So, no thanks. I'll still stick to my main roads.
