HC Deb 28 November 1962 vol 668 c56W
72. Mr. Webster

asked the Minister of Transport to what extent traffic flow in the Knightsbridge-Cromwell Road area has been accelerated by the abolition of right-hand turns.

Mr. Hay

The right turn bans have given on average about 20 per cent. increase in capacity along Cromwell Road and about 10 per cent. on the side roads. As a result delays have been reduced at some junctions; at others greater volumes have been handled without increased delay. We are still collecting detailed information.
