Bus Service Improvement Scheme – New North Road Exeter – Impact Assessment September 2023
A proposed bus gate and bus lane will facilitate direct access for buses from New North Road onto Sidwell Street, thus rerouting buses from the existing circular route along Longbrook Street, York Road, and Bampfylde Street. This new route is approximately 0.5km shorter than the existing route and would achieve a journey time saving of 2.5 minutes. The proposed route will also redirect buses away from residential properties and community hubs to reduce congestion, air pollution, and improve road safety in the area.
