Plans for a 24-hour bus lane and banned turns on a key road running through South Bristol have been changed after criticism. A huge range of works is planned next year along the A37 Wells Road in a bid to make buses more punctual and reliable, but with new restrictions for other motorists.
Bristol City Council is planning to install new 12-hour bus lanes along parts of Wells Road. These were initially going to be in place 24 hours a day, until local residents pointed out that no buses run along that road overnight. These will now instead be in force from 7am to 7pm.
Several junctions along Wells Road will also see major changes, including the junction with West Town Lane which runs into Brislington. This would have seen drivers banned from turning left onto Wells Road, although this part of the plan has now been scrapped.
