Transport for London is to trial extended bus lane hours on some of London’s busiest roads.
The 24/7 trial will begin to be rolled out from Sunday, September 13, and TfL said it will help ‘guard against a damaging car-led recovery, that would pose risks to safety, the environment and public health’.
Drivers who park or travel in the bus lanes could be hit with a Penalty Charge Notice of up to £130 and the trial will last up to 18 months.
A TfL spokesperson said the bus lanes are on the ‘Red Routes comprising more than 80km of road’.
They added: “General traffic will be restricted from using the bus lane during the off-peak hours, with car parking suspended on some routes. Blue Badge parking facilities will be retained in the trial. Clear signage will indicate which roads are affected and when they are expected to change.”
