Tackling congestion in the Capital
Londoners set to benefit from congestion-busting plans for the roads.
The measures, which will be carried out by TfL, include better communication with road users to allow them to plan their journeys, and better collaboration to reduce the impact of roadworks.
As part of the plans, announced by Mayor Sadiq Khan, there will be measures to increase the reliability of buses, including a £50m investment in bus priority schemes.
Buses are London's most popular form of public transport, with almost 2.4 billion journeys made in the Capital each year - half of all bus journeys in England. Buses are also the most efficient way to use the roads, so improving the reliability of bus services is a key aim.
The plans also include reducing disruption caused by planned or unplanned incidents, and improving journey time reliability so that all road journeys have minimum delay in any traffic conditions.
TfL will also work to ensure the infrastructure, including traffic signals and road surfaces, is repaired faster, and that it collaborates better with local authorities, utility companies and developers to reduce the impact of planned roadworks.
Mayor Sadiq Khan said: 'Ensuring people can get around our city easily and efficiently is vital for London's future prosperity. We need to be much smarter in how we use our roads and tackle the causes of congestion head-on.'
These plans are designed to ease the immediate congestion problems, alongside other long-term strategic approaches being developed as part of the Mayor's Transport Strategy, due to be published next year.
Using London's roads more efficiently, as well as tackling poor air quality and promoting better health, are all part of the Mayor's Healthy Streets approach.
This includes better cycling facilities and new cycling infrastructure to help Londoners get about quickly without having to use a car.
