EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This Note is not part of the Order but is intended to indicate its general purport.)
This Order varies the hours when the bus lane controls are in operation in the two bus lanes
in Hampton Court Road.
STATEMENT OF REASONS
A study of the queues of traffic in the non-bus lanes during the hours of operation of the
existing bus lanes at both locations show that there is a continued benefit to bus journey
times and justification for retaining the lanes. The proposed extension of their hours of
operation to include Saturdays and Sundays will cater for weekend shopping peaks and
special events in the area.
