New road rules

[MikeL]

I never buy the Herald because of the off chance that some of Lou's rants are likely to be published in it

Has he really got to you that much...?

BTW John Roughan is assistant editor of the Herald or some such...
A nonentity, obviously.

Is it OK to use the bus lanes from feb 27th?

well according to the most recent offering from the LTSA if its a Bus lane it is
???? what do you think they mean? check it out?

Why dont they make it nice and simple like in the U.K? It goes like this,some places you can,someplaces you cant,some places bicycles can but motorcycles cant.In Plymouth we have "24 hour bus-lanes",which you`d think would imply a 24-hour bus service unless you were wise to the ways of local councils in Britain when you wouldn`t be suprised to learn that the buses are off the road by 11p.m. every night.This from the same council that reduced the main road through the city-centre to a single-lane,"to improve traffic flow" and put a pedestrian crossing in "to make crossing safer for pedestrians",though they`ve yet to explain the logic of filling in the underpass where the crossing is now for no apparent reason.oh yeah,they recently voted themselves a 100% increase in expenses while blaming the government for local taxes going up.This is the kind of stuff that keeps the good folk of the N.Z. immigration service busy.

How could you have possibly missed the extensive education and publicity campaign that the LTSA and Police Farce have responsibly undertaken over the last 3 months to ensure that all road users are fully aware of the new regulations?

Easy - I don't watch the news because I work evenings and I can't be bothered with being forced to recycle newspapers...

I miss out on a lot of NZ news this way

After reading through the LTSA pages on these "new" rules, it seems that they have either missed out (or revoked) the part that says that cage drivers can use bus lanes for up to 50 metres when turning from an adjoining street and merging into normal traffic. Wish they'd make that clear so the dickheads at the end of my road don't make a line 15 cars long all waiting for that very elusive gap in the traffic on Gt North Rd of a morning.
