A259 Bexhill Road Bus Lane Experimental Traffic Regulation Order Report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport Additional documents: Minutes: 34.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport.
DECISIONS
34.2 The Lead Member RESOLVED to (1) Agree to the implementation of a trial permitting cyclists, powered two-wheelers and taxis to use the Phase 1 bus lanes along the A259 Bexhill Road; (2) To authorise the inclusion of cycling (along with powered two-wheelers and taxis) in the Experimental Traffic Regulation Order for the Phase 1 A259 Bexhill Road bus lanes; and (3) To extend the trial period to a maximum of 18 months.
Reasons
34.3 Phase 1 of the A259 Bexhill Road bus lane (between Glyne Gap and Filsham Road) in Hastings is part of the BHLR complementary measures and came into effect in November 2018. At present, the TRO only allows buses to use the bus lane. Allowing cyclists, as well as PTWs and taxis, to use the bus lane would potentially reduce the exposure of riders to general traffic, improve safety and reduce journey times as well as reduce pollution levels.
34.4 Safety audits and assessments have not identified any issues with cyclists, PTWs or taxis using the A259 Bexhill Road Phase 1 bus lanes which would prevent a trial going ahead. |
