This consultation has now closed

The survey ran throughout August and September, with residents invited to give their responses online or by returning paper copies that were sent to every household in the city.

The response was one of the biggest the council has ever seen. A total of 22,068 surveys were completed, with 17,623 returned by post, 4,229 online, and 216 at engagement events.

The survey listed several aspects of Hull’s roads and asked whether people believed each had got worse, stayed the same, or got better over the past two years.

Typically, all four key transport groups (motorists, cyclists, public transport users and pedestrians) were more likely to say that all the things listed had got worse, rather than better.

Some other key findings from respondents to the survey were:

  • Across all key transport groups, the significant majority said congestion and journey times had got worse over the past two years,
  • More than 70% of residents said they felt consulted “poorly” or “very poorly” over recent changes to bus lanes and cycle lanes.
  • Most people said a main cause of the problems was roadworks / road improvement works.
  • When asked about Hull’s bus lanes, most people were of the view that the operating hours should return to peak times in one direction, rather remain all day in both directions.
  • Nearly two thirds of respondents said they believed that the cycle lanes and the new bus lane operating times had contributed to increased congestion.
