Plans for new stretches of bus lane on A60 Mansfield Road have been backed by residents, but they do not want it enforced 24 hours every day. The new lanes will be along three stretches of Mansfield Road - between the Esso petrol station by the Ollerton roundabout and Arch Hill, from Appledorne Way to Cross Street in Redhill, and on Oxclose Lane at its approach to Edwards Lane.
Nottinghamshire County Council says the bus lanes will not be 'detrimental' to journey times for car drivers and that it will improve travel times from the Redhill and Arnold areas heading into the city centre, where journey times have been gradually increasing. However, the local authority does say the bus lanes will be operational 24 hours per day to 'ensure compliance'.
Neighbours have said they back plans for the bus lanes to help ease congestion as the road is very busy. But they do not want to see it in action 24 hours per day.
