USE OF BUS LANES
« on: April 27, 2024, 08:13:44 PM »
  Please fill this one out it can only be a benefit to have nationwide rules against the lottery that it is now when you can travel from on area to another and be under a different set of rules and picking up PCNs simply because you missed reading one sign out of all those that now litter our roads.

I did my test in Newport where the bus lanes switch constantly from being use/don't use, it was a right distraction having to try and see the signs around high sided vehicles and remain safe.

I would like to think the Mayor of London (and therefore the head of TfL who are responsible for bus lanes) will implement the use of bus lanes for motorcycles if that is what the outcome of the public consultation decides. Unfortunately the Mayor of London does what he and the minority with the loudest voices want not what the majority have requested through a democratic process. The expansion of ULEZ is a perfect example of his thinking. Prior to the expansion of ULEZ TfL posted a public consultation paper asking if the taxpayers and road users of London thought the ULEZ expansion was a good idea. The mayor received something in the region of 14,000 responses to the consultation of which over 10,000 were opposed to the expansion. This was obviously bad news for the Mayor and his cash cow idea so he ignored the majority and implemented the expansion of ULEZ anyway giving people just eight months notice to get rid of their allegedly polluting vehicles and buying something compliant. The values of old cars plummeted overnight whilst the values of compliant vehicles massively increased, if you could find one. Still, every cloud has a silver lining and as if by magic your otherwise dirty polluting vehicle the fumes of which allegedly kill people can become clean if you pay the mayor £12 a day 🙄.
I hope we are allowed to use all the bus lanes in London instead of just a few that a poorly signposted but I think London will be excluded from any legislation on the orders of a dictator Mayor.
