Use of Bus Lanes by Ambulances
29/09/2020 - Use of Bus Lanes by Ambulances
CYC have received a request from the emergency
services, to be allowed to use bus lanes within the City of York
Council boundary whilst not travelling in an emergency. Yorkshire
Ambulance Service have asked us to consider on the basis that some
ambulance journeys do not warrant the use of the lights but are
still time conscious and the ability to use bus lanes would help
with journey times when responding to non-emergency calls.
Decision: Agreed to change the traffic regulation orders to allow
marked ambulances to use bus lanes when not on emergency
response.
