Decision details

It was agreed that:

1.               Bus lanes in Guildford should operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week with corresponding restrictions on waiting and parking in them (unless site specific circumstances prevent this) to enhance the Quality Bus Corridor Project.

2.               By default, the bus Lanes are prioritised for use by local buses, pedal cycles and hackney carriages. Other vehicles such as motorcycles and HGV’s should be excluded unless circumstances provide justification.

3.               A statutory consultation is carried out to implement these changes, initially in Guildford (in conjunction with other proposals to improve bus routes, Guildford Quality Bus Corridor schemes) with the Cabinet member for Transport reviewing the outcome of the consultation before confirming any changes.
