TfL Ref: FOI-1693-2122
Thank you for your request of 1st November 2021, clarified on 8th November 2021, asking for information about TfL road and traffic schemes. Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.
Specifically you asked:
“Highways - Road & Traffic Schemes: Please can you provide a list of all current and proposed within the Council's jurisdiction.”
And;
“Specifically we are looking for the following:-

I can confirm that we hold the information you require. However, under section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act TfL is not required to provide information where it would cost more than £450 to determine if the information is held, and to then locate, retrieve or extract that information from elsewhere. This is calculated at a rate of £25 per hour, equivalent to 18 hours work. In this case there is no quick or efficient way of sourcing all of the information that falls within the scope of your request. There is no single team that holds the information requested, and to source it all would require the input of multiple individuals across multiple areas. We do not believe that this is feasible within the costs limit.
You may therefore wish to narrow the scope of your request to focus on the information that is of most importance to you - for example, by focussing on a specific scheme or area. However, before doing so I would suggest that you review the material that can already be found on the TfL website here:
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.
Yours sincerely,
