School buses will be able to use the bus-only lane as well as
the general traffic lane
Because the roads will be made urban clearways, parents driving
their children to schools in the area will not be allowed to stop or
wait on the side of the roads,
Instead, provision will be made in side-streets for parents
to drop off their children at locations closest to their schools.
Special information material is being prepared for distribution
to the schools in the area, so that teachers, pupils, parents and school
bus operators will be familiarised with the arrangements in advance. -
The spokesman concluded: "We are confident that the scheme will
make travel to and from school easier.
"We also believe that the improved bus services in the area will:
offer a real and attractive alternative to private motorists who would
like to switch to public transport as a means of travel between Mid-Levels
and the main commercial and shopping areas on the Island."
Note to Editors:
Copies of a sketch-map illustrating the
scheme are boxed for collection.
