k MOVE by the Greater .ondon Council to erect )ermanent barriers between )us-only lanes and other raffic travelling in the same iirection is being opposed by he AA, RAC and RSAC.
These motoring organizeions have presented a petition to Parliament opposng the provision in the GLC General Powers) Bill, claimng barriers are unnecessary ind detrimental to the nterests of other road users.
'This move by the GLC amounts to annexation of part of the public highway and in our view this is totally unnecessary," said a spokesman for the three motoring
organizations. "Road capacity would be considerably reduced and this would be particularly serious at times when extra capacity is required — for instance when public transport services are suspended or when roadworks reduce the width of the remaining carriageway."
