Bus Priority Measures

Congestion is the biggest barrier to providing a reliable and quick bus service. That's why we are gradually working along each 'Mainline' corridor to find ways to give the bus a helping hand.

This can be by:

• introducing camera-enforced new bus lanes

• no stopping 'red routes'

• prioritising signalling for late running buses

• re-designing signalised junctions to smooth flows.

• measures to restrict regular parking blockages

• reducing the impact of roadworks

There are already fully enforced bus lane sections on the 20 of the 30 Mainlines but more needs to be achieved.

Over the next four years we will be introducing additional priority improvements on our Mainlines, subject to statutory consultation.
