00:00A few bus lanes along the A37 Wells Road in South Bristol have been approved, but a turning

00:08ban proposal has been put on pause due to opposition from locals.

00:15The new bus lanes will run along the southern half of the A37 Wells Road in South Bristol

00:22and will be in force for 12 hours every day.

00:27The bus passengers should see less time stuck in traffic and hopefully faster journeys,

00:33but many locals have raised concerns about the increased congestion for drivers and the

00:39loss of parking spots on the Wells Road due to the bus lanes.

00:45The bus lanes will run from the junction with West Town Lane down to the Gilda Parade.

00:52Bristol City Council initially proposed banning a turn on West Town Lane for drivers travelling

00:57north up the Wells Road.
