HC Deb 06 April 1977 vol 929 cc522-3W
26. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what study he is making of the effectiveness of bus lanes.

Mr. Horam

The effects of bus lanes on buses, other traffic and road safety are the subject of many recent and current studies by the Deparment and TRRL in collaboration with local authorities.

Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on the effectiveness of bus priority lanes, reducing delays in journey times through congested traffic.

Mr. Horam

Bus lanes, when satisfactorily located and designed, can reduce bus journey times without appreciably delaying other traffic.
