‘Cyclists have run amok in the new 'pedestrian-only' zone at Oxford Street on the first day of Sadiq Khan's traffic-free scheme.    The London Mayor hailed the move to pedestrianise the busy shopping hub as 'a truly momentous occasion for the capital' – but cyclists have been flouting the new rules by sailing past the obstructive green bollards and signs installed overnight. A team of security guards stationed at the entrance were trying to wave down cyclists and forcing them to dismount and push their bikes through. But many, including delivery drivers and commuters speeding on e-bikes, ignored the instructions and whizzed on past the bollards.’ Well that didn’t take them long did it?😡 ‘Cars, buses, taxis, bikes and other vehicles are now banned from almost a kilometre of the central London road between Orchard Street and Great Portland Street. They will instead be funnelled on to surrounding routes. The situation overnight was described as 'absolutely pandemonium' by one member of the public who recorded footage of buses coming up against the new diversion.’ https://mol.im/a/16238647
