Bus lanes and automated bus gates


Bus priority in UK is full of examples of simple and cost-effective measures. This video looks at bus priority measures used at Hammersmith Bridge in London where automatic bus gates are used for added safety. The buses are given priority at the bottle neck when approaching the single lane entry to the bridge very effectively. This film has been compiled with the hope that many Indian cities duplicate these easy methods rather than just focusing on Bogota style BRT which is limited to widest of roads (and there are very few of these in Indian cities).
