Background

Following the introduction of improvements to bus routes within the City, Transport for New South Wales (TfNSW) have advised that southbound buses on Elizabeth Street are unable to safely turn right from Elizabeth Street into Raglan Street when vehicles are parked in the first two parking spaces on the southern side of Raglan Street west of Elizabeth Street. TfNSW have requested an extension of the “No Stopping” restriction at this location to facilitate safe public transport operations.
