London's extensive traffic congestion has prompted Transport for London (TfL) to devise strategies to improve bus speeds and tackle delays. Currently, bus speeds in central London average only 7 miles per hour, exacerbated by inefficiencies at traffic lights and prolonged road works. TfL plans to upgrade traffic light technology to enhance responsiveness during peak hours and reduce the waiting time for buses. Additionally, encouraging councils to impose charges on utility companies for roadworks aims to decrease their duration and minimize disruption on bus routes.
The focus is primarily on two things which are the bane of every bus passenger: traffic lights and roadworks.
Higher-tech traffic lights could improve traffic flow and reduce the amount of time buses spend stuck at red lights.
Carl Eddleston emphasized that new traffic light systems would enhance responsiveness, improving bus speeds and overall traffic management.
Encouraging councils to charge utility companies for road digging can minimize the duration of disruptive roadworks.
