We are consulting on proposed bus priority improvements on the east section of St Paul's Road
Proposals for St Paul's Road east section(north side, between St Paul's Place and Essex Road/Newington Green Road):
We are proposing to introduce a new bus lane on the northern side of St Paul's Road, requiring resident's parking spaces to be removed there. Details are:
New bus lane: A new section of bus lane on the northern side, between St Paul's Place and the bus stop. The bus lane would operate, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday to Saturday.
Resident parking: Current resident parking (5 spaces) outside residences would be removed to allow for the new bus lane.
Physical layout: No proposed changes to the layout of the road or kerb-lines.
Waiting and loading restrictions: There would be new restrictions on waiting and loading along the proposed section of bus lane. These would be -
No Waiting: 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday to Saturday.
No Loading: 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, Monday to Friday.
Loading and Unloading: Permitted outside of the 'No Loading' times.

The council is committed to improving public transport services. We also have a proposal to improve bus services at the western part of St Paul's Road near Highbury Corner. Details of this can be found on our St Paul's Road west section consultation page.
Overall, our proposals are aimed at enhancing bus reliability by:
Extending bus lane hours: This will prevent buses from getting held up behind other vehicles in the bus lane during off-peak times when they are waiting to clear the traffic lights at Highbury Corner.
Introducing a new bus lane: This will provide a more direct route for buses to the bus stop, bypassing queueing traffic from the signalised junction with Essex Road. This will save time for bus journeys.
