Open Review motorcycle access to bus lanes

Created by Adrian Turton
Closes on

Launch a review into motorcycle access to bus lanes, which looks into requiring councils to publish safety data and justifications for restrictions, and introducing consistent national guidance that improves safety, reduces conflict and supports predictable road layouts for all riders.

We believe allowing motorcycles in bus lanes supports aims within the UK’s new Active Travel Strategy (CWIS3) of achieving predictable layouts, conflict reduction and efficient use of road space, and has been shown to improve safety in several UK cities. However, we feel many areas still ban motorcycles without presenting clear evidence. A nationwide review could protect vulnerable riders, reduce risk and create consistent, evidence based national guidance.
