Vehicles blocked from bus gate

Campaigners in Exeter, Devon, acting as so-called human bollards, have blocked 70 vehicles from using a buses-only road.

The protesters have been demanding that both the police and Devon County Council enforce bus gate restrictions on Ladysmith Road and Whipton Lane, organisers said.

The council installed bus gates as part of the controversial Heavitree and Whipton Active Streets Trial.

Campaigners claimed that a car hit a cyclist and her baby in the ‘crush of drivers’ ignoring the bus gate.
