Liverpool City Council launches new bus lane on major route

Liverpool City Council launches new bus lane on major route

A new bus lane has been launched into Liverpool city centre as part of a drive to improve public transport and reduce congestion.

Liverpool City Council has green lit the bus lane as of today, following a public consultation last year.

The bus lane will operate between Irvine Street and Mount Vernon Road and will be enforced by Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras.

Operating at all times for five days a week (24hrs Mondays – Fridays), it is subject to review under an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order for a maximum of 18 months.  The initial six months are a period of consultation and monitoring.  

During the initial six months a ‘Warning Notice’ period for first time offenders will be in effect. A repeat offender during this period will be penalised. 

This measure is expected to reduce bus journey times as well as make buses more reliable for passengers.

It is hoped that the improvement to passenger experience will encourage a shift from private cars to public transport. Any reduction in private car use will help improve air quality as traffic congestion and emissions will be minimised.

The new bus lane will also create a safer environment for cyclists and pedestrians.

The bus lane will be introduced under an Experimental Traffic Order, allowing for a review and potential amendment of the scheme based on public feedback over the next 18 months.

The introduction of the bus lane comes as the Liverpool City Council’s next cabinet meeting, being held on Tuesday 21 January, is recommending the approval of the Liverpool Urban Mobility and Public Spaces Plan, which will transform public space and movement for the next 20 years.

Councillor Daniel Barrington, Cabinet Member for Transport and Connectivity, said:

“This bus lane is a key step in our plans to make public transport more efficient and sustainable. 

“The promotion of our public transport services has a key part to play in making Liverpool a leader on the path to net zero and a more sustainable future for all.

“We encourage everyone to give their feedback on the scheme so we can continue to improve our city’s transport network.”
