Prior to the new road layout, there were 2 lanes for traffic to turn left over Putney Bridge and now there is only one. Unfortunately, there is also a bus stop in that lane and some of the buses change drivers at this stop, resulting in them being stationary for quite some time. If you’re lucky, the bus moves and if you’re not, you either have to wait until they go or else try to go around the bus (this then places you temporarily in the lane to turn right). If there is a lot of traffic already in the lane to turn right, then you can’t overtake the bus and so you help to build up the ridiculous tail backs that we are all experiencing. I would suggest that part of the solution would be to stop driver changeovers at this bus stop.
