We are tackling the frustrating disruptions to traffic caused by jams.
Preventing traffic jams
Smoothing traffic flow
Smooth-flowing traffic helps buses as well as private vehicles. In general traffic that is not endlessly stalled will also emit considerably less CO2.
Traffic lights
We are reviewing all of London’s 6,000 traffic lights to reduce standing time for traffic.
Motorcycles
We have decided to help traffic flow by allowing a trial for the introduction of motorcycles in bus lanes on Red Routes.
A war on road works
We are working with utility companies to reduce the impact of their street works on traffic congestion. A permit scheme will help us coordinate works and reduce disruption. Penalties for delayed works will also help make sure work is finished on time.
