I’ve updated the previous post to include the only three allowable uses. This is set out in Section 6.3 of the Traffic Management Act 2004, Statutory Guidance to Local Authorities on Bus Lane and Moving Traffic Enforcement Outside London.

Yes, the New York Subway 'trains' are equivalent to trams that we have in the UK. 21 minutes ago, Planner1 said: Certainly when I was at SCC it always went towards public transport related schemes Fat chance with the SYMCA.

No, they are not light rail / trams NY subway trains are much bigger than our trams. They are a form of heavy rail. A subway train could carry perhaps 1500 people. Sheffield trams will carry up to 240. 14 minutes ago, Irene Swaine said: Fat chance with the SYMCA. Big cuts coming I am told. The MCA don’t carry out bus lane enforcement and have no say in how it is spent. It’s done by individual councils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Nobody has asked the most obvious question, which is, - why on earth did they change it? The change serves no useful purpose. Is it just to inconvenience the driver and slow down the traffic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely an attempt to reduce pollution on Arundel Gate since they forced more buses to use it because of the wrongful closure of Pinstone St. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintor Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 11 hours ago, Irene Swaine said: I am almost certain that it is property of Novotel. A better idea would be to have a sign at the roundabout on Furnival gate of the busgate ahead and then a final reminder at The Roebuck Tavern. Agree I've paid the fine btw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
