How to use bus lanes safely and legally

Bus lanes are primarily for buses, but can also be used by taxis, hire cars, motorcycles or bicycles, emergency vehicles and special purpose vehicles.

General traffic is also permitted to travel in a bus lane for up to 100 metres to turn into or out of a side road, enter or leave a property adjacent to the bus lane or to pass another vehicle which has stopped to turn right or to avoid an obstruction.
