don't know about you lot, but i don't think it'll work, drivers still use the bus lanes so i doubt a sign that says no parking will make them think any different.

I hope it works, but the amount of illegal parking now (on bus stops and close to traffic lights) makes me think that it won't.  For it to work, there needs to be enforcement.

Given that no action has been taken to stop cars from using Mill Street in the High Street direction even though they are supposedly banned from doing so, I fear that nothing will be done by Dudley Council to enforce the new parking regulations and buses will continue to be snarled up in the ensuing chaos.
