(Picture: Ross Lydall)A £35 million scheme that turned Tottenham Court Road into a two-way street and banned cars during the day has cut traffic levels by two-thirds.
The number of vehicles using the road on weekdays fell by 65 per cent, from an average of 8,839 in March 2017 to 3,124 in March this year. Only buses and bikes are allowed from 8am-7pm, Monday to Saturday.
