I feel like the laneway congestion can't possibly be delaying people more than a few seconds.
Speaking as someone who walks in the area regularly, that part of Halls Lane is effectively a driveway in from a notably short block between Charles and Victoria intersections, and it leads to some less than ideal pedestrian interactions there because Victoria is so busy. Its in a tough spot but I don't think more cars entering Victoria there would necessarily be more favourable than driveway access to Charles.
Yes, but the laneway also accesses Francis. Access should just be restricted at Victoria for emergency only, and all vehicles should access off Francis.
Limiting driveways is something we should do more of, but ultimately something we are utterly pathetic about in the region, we've got plazas with 2-3-4 driveways in a few dozen meters onto an arterial stroad. It's like we're trying to make bad roads.
But specific locations are always justified somehow.
