Purpose

Bowerham Road forms parts of bus routes within Lancaster, including route numbers 4 and 9. In order to prevent any obstructions from parked vehicles, No Waiting at Any Time restrictions are proposed for certain lengths of Bowerham Road.
The introduction of these restrictions aims to provide an unobstructed route for buses, improving operation in both directions, enhancing reliability for passengers, and supporting the efficient movement of services along the route.
