Surely it would make a difference to specify that lorries could move around London from 10am until 4pm- that way time sensitive things such as cement, fish etc can be delivered but lorries are no longer part of rush hour trafic?
i.e. total ban between 6-10am and from 16.00 until say 20.00
I think that even that wouldn't be nessecary to have a meaningful impact on accidents and fatalities. Perhaps in zone 1, out in the outer zones you could have it at 7-10 and 16-19. You're main aim really is to limit HGV activity on roads commonly used by vulnerable road users where the availble space is irretrievably limited. The good thing about the former is that the C-charge equipment could easily be modified to aid enforcement.
