The answer to Oxford St is to have taxi ranks and taxi drop-off points
in lay-bys and for the rest to be a strictly enforced "Red Route"
Clearway.

Which would mean that the buses couldn't stop, unless they too were
provided with lay-bys ... and with so many buses pulling in and out of
near continuous lay-bys, everything would grind to a halt.

Perhaps the answer is to get rid of all traffic and have two wide
travelators running down the middle of the street (it wouldn't be any
slower than going by bus, I'm sure!)
