Default Suggestion for easing Oxford Street traffic nightmare.

So, if there are no bus stops, how do you know where to wait for your

turn red as your bus approaches?


How about doing it the other way round.

Relocate all bus stops to the traffic lights. If a bus is to stop and
approaching the lights, turn them to red and allow crossing. Once the
bus is ready to move off, it pushes a button to change the lights in
its favour and can do so.

Possibly, but that would negate the proposal of all lights being red/green
at the same time. With the amount of buses as there are currently then most
of the lights would never become green.
