[maggidee]

first time ive had to go up to manor top last week at 9pmand talk about confused the2 cars in front of me went thro the lights coming up past stans chippy, the first stayed right and went straight up to fire station the second stopped and sat a minute waiting for a gap to go in the left lane,the car behind me was blasting his horn telling me to just go forward and go up the bus lane..............but then if you use it correctly no one lets you move over to go down prince of wales.are there any cameras and has anybody been done for going in the bus lane

Is the bus lane operational at 9 pm?

[sheffgrow]

the bus lane going up mansfield road?

it only applies from 8am till 9.30am

and 4.30pm until 6pm i think

[Strix]

isn't this a peak time bus lane, and not a 24hr one anyway?

 

It's a complete stupidity anyway - completely unworkable

[maggidee]

sorry i should say 9 am not pm and it was blocked solid

[Guest busdriver1]

just do what everyone else does and use it as a car lane

[maggidee]

has anyone ever had a ticket forgoing in the bus lane was not sure if a camera monitored it

I have to agree, the layout is crap in the extreme.

 

Most traffic goes straight up the bus lane. The traffic coming up from Intake bottom is supposed to go into the outside lane, then merge into the left hand lane (where the bus lane goes from the left hand lane into the outside lane outside the shops), but can't because most of the drivers just ignore the start of the bus lane so cut off the merge left point (and tbh I don't blame them otherwise you get a massive queue behind 1 car waiting to turn right at the lights).

 

Then if you observe the bus lane you can't get back into the right hand lane at the end of it, because every one else has come straight up the bus lane.

 

So do you get stuck forever, or risk getting a ticket.

 

It's about time they sorted it out into a more practical layout.

I'm pretty sure this one isn't enforced
