Sent to TfL less than a minute later. TfL ref: FMS2224552.
The portion of Finchley Road outside finchley Rd tube station (221 Finchley Road) heading north has been narrowed from "Two lanes + a bus lane" to "One lane + bus lane" to enable social distancing. This has caused huge traffic congestion at all times because the signposting is confusing.
The bus lane where the road has narrowed is a bus lane that only operates between Monday and Friday between 4pm & 7pm (there is a sign outside 223 finchley road that indicates this).
However just before the narrowing of the road commences, there is a sign (outside Waitrose 199 Finchley Road) that indicates that the bus lane is in force at all times.
As a result, most motorist think that the bus lane where the street narrows is enforced at all hours. As a result, you need to put a sign just before where the road narrows to indicate that the bus lane ONLY narrows between 4pm & 7Pm on monday to friday (or change the sign outside waitrose finchley road). This will make a huge difference to traffic

Funchley Road outside waitrose is a nightmare for driving queues go all the way back to saint John’s wood circus. Is this narrowing of the street really necessary? It is hardly used but anyone this so called social distancing aid. It has become more dangerous to cross the road as a result of this. Air pollution has hit the roof. Please take it down as soon as possible.

The narrowing of the road outside Finchley Road tube is causing huge issues for traffic leaving London each day and totally unnecessary. Traffic is queuing back to St John’s wood and the changes made to make the walking area wider need to be readdressed as a matter of urgency . Now London is getting busier again this will only get worse and lead to more frustration
