Parking restrictions are to be introduced around a busy Preston bus stop over concerns that a lack of room is posing a risk to road users
in the area.
The bus stop is used by the Preston Bus-operated number 100 service, as well as three school buses which ferry pupils to and from Christ the King High School, Archbishop Temple High School and Corpus Christi Sports College. It also acts as a terminus for the 100, meaning that vehicles often park up in the location before starting their return journey at the scheduled time..
The bus stop clearway on Tudor Avenue will now be extended by eight metres to provide more space for manoeuvring buses, while the bus stop pole will also be moved closer to the junction. Another nearby bus stop served by the number 100 on Cairnsmore Avenue will see a clearway area introduced to prevent vehicles blocking the facility – a situation which means passengers currently often have to walk in the road to get on and off the bus and which creates a higher step for them than would be the case if they were able to do so directly from or onto the pavement.
