Thanks for your comment.

Clinton Road currently has metered parking along its south side. This narrows the street and acts to reduce the flow and speed of traffic. Removing the parking would remove the restriction and make Clinton Road, and by extension Blackford Road, a more attractive east-west rat-run.

Look again at the diagrams for Options 1 and 1a: Blackford Road, Clinton Road and the intervening section of Whitehouse Loan are marked green and the annotation says that this is a ‘secondary traffic route’. This is not the case for Options 2 and 2a: the modal filters would substantially reduce through traffic.
