Default Bus hits tree

The best solution for the Kingsway would, IMO, be bus lanes up the
middle and other traffic (with a height restriction, presumably) on
the left. Zebra crossings could be provided to access stops - this
kind of arrangement is very common in Germany, and works very well,
also having the benefit that buses don't bang over grids etc quite as
often.


Those of us who are old enough remember something quite similar to that
in London - we called them trams. Not in Kingsway, however - they went
underground there! :-)
