- BA001 – Bus Gate – Old Torrington Road, Sticklepath, Barnstaple
Moving traffic restrictions
Bus Gate
Site background
There is Bus Gate on Old Torrington Road between Riverton Road and Grange Avenue. The restriction is being implemented in Summer 2023 to replace the previous bus gate on Gratton Way and is being introduced to better manage traffic in the area due to the new housing development.
The bus gate will have exemptions for
- local buses
- cycles
- approved school transport vehicles between 8am-9.30am and 3.30pm-5pm on Monday to Friday during school term times
Contravention history
The restriction is not yet live, so there is no contravention history but from experience of similar restrictions (including the previous prohibition on Gratton Way) the risk of contraventions is high and is why the developers have been asked to pay for an enforcement camera.Enforcement priorities
Enforcement of moving traffic offences at this site will:- improve public safety
- support active travel and public transport

Site background
There is a banned right turn from The Square (A3125) in to Taw Vale that applies to all vehicles. The restriction was first introduced in 2007 to compliment the new Barnstaple Western Bypass and restrict inappropriate traffic movements, making the best use of the new road system.
There is no further hard engineering solution for this site due to the lack of space and other manoeuvres still permitted at this location.
