Why does the Council feel the need to enforce bus lanes on Xmas Day?

[Jeffrey Shaw]

The actual report can be found here:

And concludes.....

 

The results of this work are a set of recommendations which propose a substantial

rationalisation of traditional bus lane based bus priority, but more importantly

identify a comprehensive package of measures that seek to provide better priority

to buses whilst at the same time bringing distinct benefits to the other local users

of the corridor.

Let's try that in English, shall we?

 

The work recommends rationalising bus lanes and better bus priority, which will also help other local road users.

The original was in English. Remind us again of what your day job is.

Just received a PCN for bus lane contravention on Mansfield Road, xmas day. my thoughts were no busses no bus lane, silly me lesson learnt.

[barleycorn]

Don't you have to received them within 14 days?... or is that just speeding and parking tickets.

[juliegem]

Hi the PCN was dated the 5th i received it on the 8th so i guess it was within the 14 days

[Cyclone]

Xmas day, 5th and 8th? I'm confused.

[barleycorn]

Think it was issued on the 5th...

The signs cannot include that text because the government traffic signs regulations don't allow it.

That's incorrect as you should well know Planner1 if you were to carefully read the legislation you quote. Why are you posting false information?

 

TSRGD 2016, Schedule 3, Part 3 Item 8 clearly states a time period may be quoted on a supplementary plate beneath a blue circular sign such as is used in Sheffield.

 

Additionally, Diagram 959B, (Schedule 9, Part 4, Item 10), clearly permits that, "the time period may be varied." The permitted variants of this particular sign allow exactly the sort of sign which was authorised for use at various locations in Sheffield in 2015. The DfT's Traffic authorisations webpage, case 4226 refers. As a new poster, sadly I can't include the link.

 

Therefore there is NO legal reason why bus gate restrictions can't be relaxed on ANY day of the year, should SCC, for example, wish to prove they aren't anti-car.

 

It would seem that other members of the forum should not take Planner1's post as being the last word of traffic-related matters - he is clearly not always right.

It was issued on the 5th but came through my door on the 8th.

Time period, yes. Which would apply to every day specified, if a Bank Holiday or not.

 

Planner is saying the words "exc. bank holidays" or words to that effect CANNOT be added, and I dont see anything on that link to disprove that.
