I think a lot of problems are caused when the motorised traffic is allowed to spread out into two lanes, then inevitably back into one again.
This was very well illustrated when London Bridge had a reduction to a signle lane at the Southern end- motorised traffic was at a standstill as the drivers tried to merge, often forcefully.
If they'd been kept to a single lane all the way over the bridge I am convinced that traffic would have kept flowing, with fewer risks for everyone.
