Gateshead Area Developments
Working in collaboration with Nexus and the local bus operators, Gateshead Council is trialling the use of "plastic bollards" to protect bus lanes on the A184 Felling Bypass and A167 Durham Road.
They cost £75 each!!! Anything that could help combat bus-lane misuse must be a positive though http://www.nexus.org.uk/news/2013/bus-la...-gateshead |

I agree with you about the bollards reducing mis-use of the lanes but for me, it seems too unjustified at this moment in time considering the state of the economy. I think they're pointless - the road is fine without them. |

Complete waste of time and causing nothing but further congestion. So much for green measures.
Plenty of cars ignoring the ones in Birtley this monrning |

Nearly created a new thread but after double checking, found this.
Gateshead Council and their paint team will be busy on Team Valley in the future. Yellow lines are to be drawn in a number of areas. I have tried uploading photos of the files, but they're too large too attach. 'Illegitimis non carborundum'

Proposals in the Tyne Bridge/Hills Street area. Point 7 is worth looking at. Remove the right turn bus lane from A167 Tyne Bridge southbound. I'm not too sure which services use that right turn currently. Well used in the past, but seemingly less so now. 'Illegitimis non carborundum'

Gateshead Council are reportedly planning on making a stretch of Durham Road at Low Fell one way only heading into Newcastle between Kells Lane/Chowdene Bank Junction and The Cannon, local businesses on Low Fell have received a Letter asking for feedback on this consultation.
Their has been a lot of complaints from businesses stretching back to March 2020 when bollards were but in place for social distancing due to Covid-19 has led to issues with deliveries to the likes of Savers, Co-Op and Herons where trucks have parked on the bus lane across the road or the parked in the road heading towards the Angel which has severly affected traffic flow in the area. |

Knowing Gateshead Council, they'll get nothing but negative feedback from everyone they 'consult', then go ahead with the plans anyway |
