It does however seem logical to have the bus lane from Second Avenue onwards, but it doesn't do much for the massive congestion southbound between the Eastern Avenue roundabout and the Tenth Avenue/retail park roundabout.
Are we talking about the Lobley Hill roundabout at the A1, as most of the slip roads there already have lights?
I have heard that the bus lane is going to go straight through the Maingate Roundabout as shown on the map on the link below.
