First time through the Blackwall today for me since the Silvertown opened. The left turn to Greenwich on exiting the tunnel across the traffic exiting the Silvertown tunnel will certainly be challenging when it's busy.
I imagine a lot of drivers won't remember to pay the toll - interesting to see what happens..
Same as Dartford, register the car once and you dont need to remember to pay. If youre like me and forget when you get a new car, the first couple of penalty notices are a handy reminder.
Ive come through the blackwall a few times with not so much traffic but as long as you're in that left lane when exiting the blackwall I can't see getting the left for the o2 exit will be that difficult.

Depends if the Silvertown traffic is cutting across - curious to see how it copes if traffic is heavy.
Southbound rotherhithe tunnel approach looked busier than normal when I was travelling out up commercial rd the other night.
All the way up to tower bridge has been gridlocked all week and most of the day. Was taking some nearly an hour to get from Limehouse link to tower bridge along the highway but there was also a closure on commercial road both ways. Surely can't be people taking a different route because of the toll.

Are people that desperate?
I dont think so to avoid paying a couple of quid but being Easter holidays it's been surprising how bad the tower bridge area has been this week and getting from the Limehouse link westbound. It's usually a breeze to get in during the holidays.

Wondered if there was a closure or something. Would've been Tuesday or Wednesday.I turned right to go through the link so couldn't see too much of what was happening up ahead on commercial.
What's the initial concencus? Has the traffic build up on the Northbound approaches improved any? Google maps during peak times suggests it has somewhat. My initial concerns about Rotherhithe chocking up on the north side seems premature. Been fine the last couple of evenings.

Yes, it has substantially improved matters in the mornings. There are now often no queues at all between 7-10 at least back to the a102 woolwich road, these happened every day previously.
The a102 is normally clear around 8am buts gets clogged from about then due to the weight of traffic while the LTN blockages are operational and then eases back up after 10am when the restrictions cease and traffic can use a larger number of roads.

You are suggesting the LTNs don’t work? Who’d have thought it. 😉😆
