Major changes to a key junction in Norwich have been proposed.
Under the plans, Dereham Road at the junction with Grapes Hill would see existing lanes altered and curbs moved to help the general flow of traffic.
Norfolk County Council claims this will also improve bus journey times and reliability across the city.
Some of the changes proposed include reducing the eastbound Dereham Road bus lane from 110 metres to 90 metres which will allow more space for vehicles to turn left at the junction.
The central reservation island on the approach to the junction would be removed and replaced with hatched road markings.
The curbs at the Raglan Street junction would be realigned to make the road wider, allowing more buses and vehicles to pass through.

New signage would be put up to signal a "no right turn" on the exit from the wine merchants and Valentine Street.
Council officials say these changes will help relieve congestion for all traffic in the area by making more space for buses to travel along the road.
The deadline for comments is February 22 and all responses will be considered ahead of any work starting.
The proposal comes as part of funding from the Department for Transport for bus infrastructure works in Norwich.
Nearly £50 million was awarded to the county for its Bus Service Improvement Plan which is being used with a £2 fare cap to promote the service for wider use by the public.
The plan includes building integrated travel hubs, introducing new and more frequent services and bus priority infrastructure schemes.
