When I was there a couple of weeks ago, the traffic was terrible but I think that may have been more because some lanes were partly blocked for continuing roadworks. From a pedestrian viewpoint, crossing Aldwych at both Strand junctions was always awkward as not all movements were signal controlled so that's an improvement. I can understand why taxi drivers are annoyed as picking up theatre visitors for Waterloo has become much more difficult: I very rarely use black cabs but I was with a friend who does, and our route from Covent Garden to Waterloo ended up taking us via Charing Cross Road and Westminster Bridge.

Too many vehicles now in single lanes?

Too many vehicles now in single lanes? Basically, yes. Traffic from Waterloo Bridge towards Aldwych, as well as south down Kingsway from Holborn, is now ponderously slow. Rethink needed I’m afraid. Not good enough.

Not good enough. Completely agree here, the amount of traffic is a bit silly because of the lane reductions and something that seems to be overlooked is that there's no crossing anywhere near the southbound stop routes coming off Kingsway use towards Waterloo so you get a load of people dangerously crossing the road there.
