• Nottingham Corporation's transport committee is urging that positive steps be taken to ensure that public transport remains an acceptable alternative to the private car. Officials claim that the city should give priority to buses at peak periods by devices such as bus only lanes, contra-flow bus lanes, bus priority traffic signals and exemptions for buses from right turning bans.
Effective steps, they say, should also be taken to control the growth of peak period traffic by means of parking control. A report being considered by the transport committee states that road pricing is not yet an accepted method of control and for the time being reliance must be placed on parking control.
