Drivers facing fines if caught using extended Walsall Road bus lane
Drivers will face fines if they cut into a bus lane after the council decided to extend restrictions to cover all daytime hours.
Motorists are currently only barred from entering the bus lane on the A4031 Walsall Road, between Wednesbury and West Bromwich, during morning rush-hour – from 7.30am to 9.30am Monday to Friday.
However, changes will mean the bus lane will operate from 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday from Sandy Lane in Wednesbury to Simon Close, Stone Cross.
Motorists will be fined £60, reduced to £30 if paid in 14 days, if they use the bus lane during those times.
