Who is permitted to use the bus lanes?
A.Access is permitted by the general public as follows: • To enable a vehicle to cross the bus lane while proceeding to or from any side road or premises adjacent to the bus lane • To enable a person to board or alight from the vehicle • To avoid an accident • To enable a vehicle (if it cannot be conveniently used for such purpose in any other road) to be used in conjunction with building or demolition operations • To enable the vehicle to wait at or near any premises situated on or adjacent to the sides of the road for as long as it is reasonably necessary, in conjunction with weddings, funerals, etc. The Police and bus operators appreciate that some domestic deliveries are large, and roadside delivery is required. Providing such deliveries are not a regular occurrence the Police will be tolerant. Similarly, the Police accept that household removal vehicles will need to load/unload from the side of the road, and ask that advanced notification is given to the local Police station.
