"Better Buses" TRO's



Chesterfield Road and London Road - Experimental Traffic Regulation Order

This one has some measures to speed up buses along Chesterfield & London Rds.

By experimentally allowing parking in the against-the-flow bus lanes on some sections.cyclists will lose the protection that the bus lane provides with no alternative provision.

There has been a long-standing agreement at the City Cycle Forum that bus lanes will not be removed in Sheffield without alternative provision being made for cyclists. This proposal violates that agreement so we will be
objecting to it.

GLEADLESS KEY BUS ROUTES


The parking on Richards Rd creates the potential for cyclists being doored
Can the footway be made segregated/shared use?

We are very concerned about the pinch points on Blackstock Rd created by the pedestrian island and suggest that a zebra crossing would be more appropriate.

TRO's July 2014

Warren Gardens & Lane (Chapeltown) 20mph limit
(why just these roads and not the whole of Chapeltown? - dunno. The Statements of Reasons says "to limit vehicle speeds in those residential streets")

Big Changes on Gleadless Rd
Gleedless Key Bus Routes (sic)

 - speed cushions, bus only lanes, road widenings.

Think we need to take a look at these in some detail.
