Bus lanes and gates were introduced in 2019 to create better and faster bus routes keeping our city moving with less delays. The introduction has increased bus service reliability and shortened journey times, improving public transport in Brighton and Hove and helping make the city’s air cleaner.
The Transport Control Centre issues bus lane Penalty Charge Notices via CCTV resulting in more efficient enforcement. This then allows Civil Enforcement Officers to concentrate on other areas across the city.
Bus Lane/Gate layout (including signage and lining) is scrutinised before implementation and then repeatedly afterwards. Overall compliance with the bus lane regulations has improved over the last year with a reduction in the number of PCNs issued for bus lane offences.
The graph shows the amount of bus lane PCN’s issued in 2021/22 compared to 2022/23. The figure has decreased year on year.
