Cavendish Road, Carlton - Proposed New 19m Bus Stop Clearway (NO STOPPING AT ANY TIME EXCEPT BUSES) – ADVERT

Overview

Via East Midlands Ltd is working on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council to deliver highway services in Nottinghamshire.

Further to the initial consultation letter of 27th September 2024, the next stage of the consultation is to publicly advertise the scheme. Notices will be fixed on site containing the proposed advert plan. A plan showing the proposed new enforceable 19 metre Bus Stop Clearway to be in operation At Any Time is attached (Drawing Number H/FR/4794/01) along with a copy of the Site Notice.

The County Council works closely with all public transport operators across the County to identify bus stops that suffer from inconsiderate parking. On Cavendish Road, an enforceable bus stop clearway will prohibit other vehicles from parking At Any Time at this bus stop, and this will be clearly identified with new road markings and signage. The main benefits of bus stop clearways are to:

• Help the bus align with the kerb to enable better access for disabled passengers and pushchair users;

• Ease congestion as a correctly aligned bus will not block the road for other road users;

• Ensure that bus drivers discharge their duty to drop passengers off on the kerb and not on the road;

• Ensure that bus services operate on time and are not unnecessarily delayed.
