High Streets pedestrianised where possible, or reduced to a maximum of two lanes

Battersea Park Road between The Latchmere pub and The Asparagus pub is a perfect example of a high street which is completely dominated by through traffic. The pavements are incredibly narrow, with nowhere near enough space to make this part of the high street a pleasant destination for pedestrians. As the road is part of the TLRN I realise it would be impossible to stop through traffic. However, the road has three lanes, and could be reduced to two. That would hugely improve the area, allowing people to dwell, for people to walk past each other easily, and for al fresco dining
