HBC indicate that the "Lights" will only turn "green" for an authorised vehicles, now this is technology, how they goina do that, by swipe card... hee hee, a little man pressing a button... hee hee, or by number plate recognition, wow now there's a thought, all the buses number plates on file on a computer, and the buses on camera (which they would need to carry out number plate recognition) . The camera would also show unauthorised vehicles "goin through a RED light", and would have recorded their number plate. Think what HBC could do with this information, could be a good earner, from all the posts on this thread. I wonder if when the lights did turn "green" there would be a loud audible warning for the people walking across the "Pedestrianised area"
All this is costly, it's like taking a sledge hammer to crack a nut. Why not just CLOSE it to ALL traffic, and find another route for the buses.
OR OPEN IT TO ALL TRAFFIC?
