New speed cameras in bus plans

Plymouth City Council has proposed installing average-speed cameras along one of the city’s busiest roads as part of a redesign aimed at improving access for buses.

The authority said the work on Armada Way would help ease congestion and improve the reliability of bus services.

The plan would see a redesign of the road layout to increase the number of bus shelters on the eastbound side, an upgraded toucan crossing for pedestrians and cyclists, and the installation of average-speed cameras to replace the existing static cameras, the council added.

The authority said work was due to begin in January 2025 and would take about six months to complete.
