This traffic restriction has caused a lot of aggro. Looking at everything, I simply wonder whether it is appropriate to describe the restriction as a prohibition to cars and motorbikes "except buses and taxis or for access". Secondly does anyone know how a council decides to make this prohibition versus describing the arrangement as a bus lane, "except for access" - which is what it really is. That would be much clearer but requires very different signage. Somebody in this thread noticed that the signs are not illuminated at night but I believe this is not needed when the speed limit is 20 or less
