Could the Mayor explain why TfL deems it necessary to introduce a very short bus lane on Norwood Road in order for a pedestrian crossing to be installed at the busy and dangerous junction at Lancaster Avenue/York Hill?

What in real terms will be gained from installing the bus lane and preventing drivers from turning into York Hill from Norwood Road?
