  • More Than Just a Driver
    More than just a driver 44 ........... Other road users 46 ........... Using the public address (PA) system 49 ...........Pre-recorded announcements 43 More than just a driver More than just a driver Being a professional bus driver requires more than just giving your passengers a safe, smooth ride. This section gives you guidance on other aspects of your job which will help you keep up your status as a professional. More than just a driver Other road users 44 Other road users There are many more cyclists using London’s roads and you should take special care to ensure you are aware of cyclists at all times. Look out for Barclays Cycle Superhighways across the Capital, and Barclays Cycle Hire users in central and eastern areas. 1. Give all cyclists space as you overtake (about half the width of your bus, or 1.2m) and do not cut in on cyclists as you approach bus stops. 45 More than just a driver Other road users 2. Do not stop in the Advanced Stop Box. It must be left clear for cyclists. 3. Remember to watch out for motorcyclists, who can now use certain bus lanes. 4. Watch out for pedestrians and keep your speed low. Use dipped headlights, especially in contra-flow bus lanes and central areas, such as Oxford Street or Piccadilly. Your company may ask you to use dipped headlights at all times. 5. At road junctions, be aware of other large vehicles such as lorries. Like buses, they need a wide area to turn. 6. Remember, taxis can use bus lanes so be prepared to stop if they are picking up or setting down passengers.

  • Forward Works Programme
    A safer, more sustainable and more resilient highway network Appendix C Forward Works Programme 2021/22 to 2025/26 1 Introduction This document sets out our five-year Forward Works Programme for the years 2021/22 to 2025/26. It reflects the need to move away from annual programmes and to consider asset management activity a multi-year one. It is in two parts: the first concerns the next two years (2021/22 - 2022/23), and most of the sites included have already been verified by our engineers. The second part relates to years three to five of our five-year programme (2023/24 - 2025/26), and is largely based on data from our asset management systems, so may be subject to more changes as the schemes are verified. Any schemes involving the potential use of non-standard materials, such as those in conservation areas, or requiring detailed design will remain in the second part until those elements have been resolved and agreed, so that there is cost certainty prior to any commitment to deliver on the ground. This programme is subject to regular review and may change for a number of reasons including budget allocation, contract rate changes, conflicting works and to reflect our changing priorities. The programme and extent of individual sites within the programme may also be revised following engineering assessment during the design phase, and additional sites may be added or others advanced if their condition deteriorates rapidly so that we need to react in order to keep the highway in a safe and serviceable condition.
