Islanders are to be encouraged to leave their cars at home

The Traffic Committee wants the House to approve its plans for pay-parking schemes in the island.

The Committee wants pay-parking to be introduced at the Odeon, Salarie and North Beach car parks, as well as at some on-street parking areas.

It wants to ensure such initiatives are attractive to islanders by making alternative methods of transport more viable.

This would include carrying out more research into the possibility of providing free school bus travel and reviewing ways in which park-and-ride can be improved.

The Traffic Committee also wants to carry out a detailed review of the island's speed limits and develop plans for compulsory emission and noise tests for vehicles.

It aims to look into a future proposal to ban the use of the controversial 'bull-bars', which are fixed to the front of many of the island's four-wheel drive vehicles.
