At evening peak periods considerable queues form on the Nuthall Bypass on the approach to the big roundabout where the A610 intersects the Nottingham orbital A6002. To avoid rat-running along the residential old Nottingham Road, this bus plug legally bars all but buses from using this short link onto the roundabout. This is not the original alignment of Nottingham Road and involved the demolition of a couple of houses to enable a safer access onto the roundabout. The remains of the old alignment of the road can be seen here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1556634.
