We are consulting on proposed bus priority improvements on the west section of St Paul's Road
Proposals for St Paul's Road west section (south side, between Highbury Grove to Highbury Corner):
The council is proposing to extend the operating hours of the bus lane on the south side of St Paul's Road (Highbury Grove to Highbury Corner). Details are:
New bus lane hours: The bus lane would operate from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday to Saturday.
Existing bus lane hours: The bus lane currently operates from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, Monday to Friday.
Physical layout: The physical layout of the bus lane will remain unchanged. Only the operating hours and signage would be updated.
Signage: New blue bus lane signs will be installed to reflect the new operating hours.
Waiting and loading restrictions:
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 eastern part of St Paul's Road near the junction with Essex Road/ Newington Green Road. Details of this can be found on the St Paul's Road east section link on the Islington Let's Talk web 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.
