Temple Way

Bus changes:

• Adding a new northbound bus lane alongside bus stops S12 and S14 – just to the north of Old Market Roundabout.
• Adding a new southbound bus lane from Old Market Roundabout to Friary.
• Changing the layout of the southbound slip road from Old Market Roundabout to provide space for the bus lane alongside bus stop M1.
• Installing a bus shelter to bus stop T9 between Temple Back East and Friary.
• Relocating bus stop T8 to the University of Law so we can add a bus lane alongside the bus stop to enable buses not stopping at this stop to overtake stopped buses.
• Providing a small section of bus lane on Old Market Roundabout to help buses coming from Old Market and turning north.

Pedestrian and cycle changes:

• Installing a two-way separated cycle lane from the corner of Old Market Roundabout by the Stag and Hounds to Friary, outside Ovo Energy.
• Maintaining a pavement at least 2m wide for this same length, where it is not slightly restricted by trees.
• Installing a new pedestrian and cycle crossing across Temple Way at Avon Street and upgrading the pedestrian and cycle crossing from Temple Back to Temple Back East.
• Narrowing the central reservation north of Temple Back East to allow for high-quality pedestrian and cycle crossing facilities east-west as well as north-south.
• Retaining the trees on the east side of Temple Way, repairing the pavement that their roots have broken, and adding new planting.
