Traffic will not necessarily be diverted elsewhere. Evidence from other New York Times Square and other places that contrary to expectations traffic will 'evaporate' . http://www.onestreet.org/resources-for-increasing-bicycling/115-traffic-evaporation A high proportion of car journeys in London are less than 2 miles (50%), so plenty of scope for alternatives if walking and cycling to the shops safer and more pleasant. |
