The A11 Whitechapel Road / Mile End Road is an important part of London’s road network, carrying several bus routes and thousands of motor vehicles every day. Cycle Superhighway 2 runs between Aldgate and Stratford Broadway, mostly along separated cycle lanes, with short sections using bus lanes. We have been working on a proposal to extend the bus lane on the A11 Mile End Road to improve bus journey times and provide a more reliable service for our bus customers.

We want to hear from you about these proposals. You can share your views by using the Guestbook below.

Why we are proposing these changes

We want to encourage people to walk, cycle and use public transport for their journeys where possible. One way of doing this is to make bus journeys more reliable and provide a safer environment for people cycling.

The extension of existing bus lanes will enable buses to bypass most of the queuing traffic during busy periods. The minor changes to the eastbound cycle lane will improve safety for people cycling along this section, as well as reducing the risk of conflict between people walking, cycling, and using public transport.

How these proposals may affect you

We are proposing to extend both the eastbound and westbound bus lanes, change parking and loading bays and alter the eastbound cycle lane. Full details of the changes can be found in our Documents section.

These proposals would benefit hundreds of bus passengers who use this route everyday including 25, 205, N25, N205. It would mean improved overall journey times and service reliability.
