New Exeter bus gate proposed

One of Exeter’s busiest shopping streets could see the installation of a new bus gate, which would allow buses to travel both ways.

The plans would enable buses to drive south alongside the existing northbound one-way traffic lane on New North Road.

The aim of the gate would be to reduce bus journey times, improve services, and cut air pollution in the area.

Devon County Council is proposing the scheme, which is open for public consultation until Monday 14th August.
