Wilton Road Bus Lane Problems

We the undersigned petition the council to Put in place measures to stop or reduce the abuse of the Wilton Road bus lane. Too many motorists are using this part of the road illegally as a cut through and the council should help to reduce the problem. Suggestions include putting in automatic bollards which detect local buses and taxis and lower for them but block unlawful for other motor vehicles (except motorbikes). The other option is the council puts in traffic cameras to fine those using it for unlawful access. This option would generate funds for the council and still allow through emergency vehicles.

This bus lane provides a good route for cyclists, linking up the General Hospital and Winchester Road with Shirely and Upper Shirley. The number of drivers using it reduces the safety of this route and makes it less attractive to cyclists.
