A councillor has urged highways bosses to ditch plans for a new bus lane on a busy route into Preston – warning that it will have “far-reaching consequences” for the flow of traffic.
“It is evident that many members of our community share my reservations about this decision. New Hall Lane serves as a vital artery connecting Preston city centre to the motorway – and any disruption to its flow of traffic will have far-reaching consequences,” Cllr Suleman wrote. “Preston is not Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol, or any other major city. Please reconsider and carefully consider the implications of your actions.”
“The aim of the scheme is to improve public transport journey times and timetable reliability by reallocating the carriageway width to create a lane dedicated for use by buses and cycles exclusively. “However, our assessment that the impact of this on other road users will be minimal as the width of New Hall Lane will allow for the creation of a bus lane alongside the existing traffic lanes.
