    Bus lane red lights.

    If you use a bus lane that has a 'B' traffic light - do you go when it illuminates - even if the other lights are still red?

    Bo Tany Rd eg

    Yes, if there are no cops around as I understand it is ONLY for busses.

    No, it is not solely for buses. The green "B" light is for all users of the bus lane.

    You got a reference for that please?

    It did come up at some stage with a cop and he advised it was bus only. It was questioned that a motorcycle at the head of the queue would then hold a bus up and he confirmed this was the case. So a reference could be handy if you have one please.

    Reference A for it was a cop I chatted to, and reference B was a KBer (I think it was Ixion?) who was quoting verbatim from some LTNZish site.

    Other than that, you will have to do your own homework.

    So to summarise, in typical KB fashion you are prepared to make a statement but not back it up.

    The bus lane regulations (aka, weather you can be in them or not for a start) vary from city to city, and are not controlled by the LTSA per-see.

    The LTSA does regulate the actual lights though - but you may find that the city you are in does not permit you to be in the bus lane if it is marked in that way.

    It's a lane, you're on a bike, you can use it (hell, we even make our own lanes at times). It's a light, for that lane, it's green, you go. I don't know what happens in Welly and Auckland, but the police here have better things to do than chase people in bus lanes/splitting etc.
