BUS LANE REVIEW

A Bus Lane review that was ordered by Derby Conservatives following them taking control of the Council in May last year. This covered several key Bus Lanes in the City.

Derby Conservatives want to be sure that Derby’s Bus Lanes are achieving what they were designed to do, are appropriate and safe, and that a fair balance is struck for all road users to ensure we keep Derby moving.

Following full consideration of the report, a decision to remove Dufflield Road and Kedleston Road Bus Lanes along with others changes across the City was made.

Consultation is being carried out on these proposals during February 2011.

Other changes include; allowing Motorbikes to use all of Derby’s Bus Lanes where practical will also be brought in. Multi-occupancy vehicles (for example, people sharing a car to travel to work) may also be able to use Bus Lanes in the City.

In Darley Ward, Duffield Road Bus Lane has been heavily opposed by local Conservatives ever since Labour brought the plans forward and the Lib Dems implemented them. It is proposed to make the changes in April this year. New cycle lanes would be installed, where safety and lane width allows.

Other decisions made included the removal of Curzon Street Bus Lane and options for the removal of Osmaston Road Bus Lane and Bus Gate between Russell Street and Litchurch Lane with improvements made to the junction there.
