Putney Traffic Crisis and New Fixes | London News

Putney’s traffic nightmare just got a new twist — after a pricey redesign meant to help walkers and cyclists, drivers are stuck in worse jams than before. Built on outdated data that assumed Hammersmith Bridge would reopen by 2026 (it hasn’t), the plan’s backfired, sparking fury from locals and businesses. Now, the Tory-led council is rolling out a new strategy: ditch the cycle wands, reinstate old bus lane hours, install cameras to enforce “access only” rules, tweak traffic lights for cars, and even remove a traffic island to widen roads and restore two lanes onto Putney High Street — all in a bid to ease congestion without scrapping the whole project.
