Thanks for the info, not being a Londoner I wouldn't have known otherwise.
Might be handy the next time I visit London.


Wonder if they'll allow motorbikes in bus lanes on Bournemouth and Poole area someday, would be handy in the summer when all the tourists come to visit waiting-for-god-land.

Both me and the g/f use bus/taxi/bike lanes when ever they turn up! Problem is the amount of time you nearly get sideswiped by myopic drives you pull in suddenly to pop to a shop!

I find most bus lanes tend to be used as car parking spaces for those with Disabled badges, foriegn plates or just don't care!

It's not all bus lanes, only the red routes. Which is a shame because Regent street would be a darn sight quicker if so.

I would think motor cyclists are like ordinary cyclists on the way home. If there's a chance you go as quick as you can when an opening occurs. The difference of course is that when you open the throttle on a motorbike you get to 60mph in about 5 seconds so they're bound to speed. So yes motor bikes using bus lanes is dangerous and prone to speeding.

Another warning about potential problems in bus lanes.

I'm sure the increase n bicycle accidents has got nothing whatsoever to do with TFL plastering the city roads with bright blue cycling superhighways in an effort to encourage many more people to use their bikes.

Talk about a skewed statistic...

The only cycling regulation that we should need is common sense. Shame it's not that common.

I think there should be special lanes for motorbikes. I would even allow cyclists in them but I would not let buses in them.

I followed a ped boy down a bus lane to filter through backed up traffic

You'd think it would be safer than the middle of the lanes and would be legal, seeing as there was no buses or taxis around and it was a nice clear stretch

I just dont think its fair on car drivers
