Victoria Square, which is adjacent to the bus station and carries the West Midlands Metro between Pipers Row and the railway station, is now off-limits to all traffic except buses, Ring and Ride, taxis, private hire cars, cyclists and vehicles loading/unloading since the notice was enforced on October 19.

Drivers are now being asked to give their views on the effectiveness of the bus gate, which also links the junction of Railway Drive, Fryer Street and Lichfield Street.
