Indeed (though the A-Z doesn't distinguish primary routes from
ordinary A-roads). I wonder if any other primary routes (other than
tunnels or bridges) are closed at night?

Now if only they'd build a "proper" West Cross Route (as I have
proposed and similar to what was originally planned) they would
divert major traffic away from Kensington and Chelsea and onto a
grade-separated non-residential route towards Hammersmith instead
(bypassing Fulham and Putney to meet the A3 near Tibbetts).

That would be very useful, particularly if combined with a
grade-separated Victoria Embankment/Cheyne Walk (!)

Grade-separated = destroying the London street scene / river frontage,
and probably destroying many homes and workplaces too.
