I can't comment on that example, but speaking generally, residents tend to want all traffic and associated parking banned, except for their own vehicles and visitors. ie Not a low traffic neighbourhood but rather an only my traffic neighbourhood
And what's wrong with that? Neighbouring countries are littered with zones bounded by O signs (no vehicles) with "sauf riverains et velos" (except residents and cycles) below. Others achieve the same by clever use of one-way streets. It seems to be a particularly British demand to be allowed to spew exhaust fumes into other people's homes in futile attempts to avoid queues on major through routes.
So far, I think we've only managed to achieve this with no-motors-except-access signs on a few narrow medieval streets like
