Compare the traffic during term time and on holidays. Holidays means no cars, school days means we all sit in traffic.
On this basis, there shouldn't be tailbacks on Honor Oak Road at the weekend but there are. I spent roughly 15 minutes on a P4 last Saturday waiting to access the South Circular on Honor Oak Road.

Devonshire, none of those roads cuts off a corner of the South Circular which people us as a rat run. Yes the other roads are busy but in the councils eyes not as busy as Manor mount/ St.David's hence their decision to make them one way.
Am not disputing the logic of Manor mount being one way but the rat run assertion doesn't hold either. Devonshire Road is definitely used as a rat run as Honor Oak Road and Brockley Rise are so busy. It is not suitable for 2 way traffic either, in fact certainly narrower in parts than Manor Mount and probably along its entire length except where it becomes the South Circular.
I don't agree with the principle of doing nothing about this when there are surely low cost improvements that can be made. Quite apart from pollution the current situation leads to dangerous driving as noted already.
