Default Buses blocking the road

1) More sensible positioning of bus stops. It's worth considering
things like putting stops right up against traffic lights with some
sort of priority control so the bus can request the lights to change
in its favour when it's finished at the stop. I've seen this sort of
thing in a few places in Germany.

This is exactly what happens with the vast majority of tram stops in
Melbourne, Australia.

Priority is given the trams to move off if lanes narrow ahead or of a
left or right turn - potentially across traffic - is required.


Cheers,
