Overview

New Bus Lanes and Bus Only Roads were implemented in Birmingham city centre to support changes to bus services, the introduction of the City Centre Interchange and construction of the Midland Metro Tram Extension. The camera enforcement of Bus Lanes and Bus Only Roads in the city centre was introduced in July 2013 to improve the effectiveness of bus lanes thereby improving bus journey times and reliability for bus users.

Why your views matter

In accordance with the recommended national guidance, we are carrying out a review of the camera enforcement scheme following 6 months of operation. This review will not only form the basis for consideration of design changes to the implemented city centre scheme, but also seek to shape the design of future bus lane enforcement schemes across the city.
