The island is in the middle of the loop formed by Gwent Square in Cwmbran Bus Station. Prominent notices inform pedestrians that they must not use the island to cross from one side of the bus station to the other. Doing so would be dangerous because it involves crossing the two busy halves of the bus station roadway. The correct procedure is to use the pavement to walk around the horseshoe shaped bus station, but, predictably, some pedestrians prefer the quicker, dangerous route. The well-trodden track across the island is evidence of this. Behind the bus waiting areas on both sides of the bus station are shops and other business premises.
