It fails to mention that many bus lanes have already been opened to bikes, following trials which showed that this improved road safety. So it ought to say that this rule change should be applied to many more bus lanes. But never mind, it's so badly written that I doubt a civil servant would bother to finish it.

Can already use them here round the Bristol/Bath area. Thumbs Up

On your test round here you are expected to use them too.

We can use a lot of them here in London although not all so you have to read the signs!

The in-credible thing about ePetitions is that anyone can start one.

What a complete derp.

I support the drive to use bus lanes, but he's not getting my signature.

"As you no".

A wonderful idea to convince the masses that the powers that be actually give a fuck about what you think. Rolling Eyes

Terribly written; signed anyway.

I wonder if the Op is referring to a certain area with bus lanes, I can ride a motorcycle in any bus lane at any time in NI.

Already got plenty of bus lanes in London, so they already have the right thinking in several places, I see no need for any more petitions.

I do like a nice bus lane that lets bikes go in them.

Mind you, I hate that one along Millbank where its "No bikes in the buslane" until you get halfway along towards Lambeth Bridge, and then it changes its mind.

AND THEN when you get over the roundabout its bloody bicycles only with the big fat blue stripe all the way along the Embankment. Bloody stupid. Make it one thing or another. Wallies! Rolling Eyes

Waterloo Bridge is the one that I don't understand. It's bus/taxi/cycle-only going north, but the bus lane's so full of cyclists in the morning that you end up stuck behind buses in the regular lane. Southbound allows motorcycles, so why not north?

It is quite annoying when there are cyclists in there.
But after all, they are more vulnerable.

Agreed, it's good that they can get out of the traffic - just a bit annoying that we can't share the lane, since it's no use to buses/taxis anyway.

What do you mean I thought bus meant bike using sense lane, I use them all the time... Can you get fined? Does anyone really care, has anyone ever got a ticket for using one?

All bus lanes in Coventry are now available for use by Motorcycles.
...just in case you're ever in the area.
