The A1 Trunk Road (Haringey) (Bus Lanes) Red Route Experimental Traffic Order 1990

Interpretation of references to a bus lane, a length of road and associated expressions

3.—(1) In this Order, “bus lane” means the area bounded by–

(a) the relevant edge of the carriageway of a length of road specified in the Schedule; and

(b) a traffic sign consisting of a longitudinal single white line on the same side of the road as that edge (such a white line being referred to in this Order, in relation to a bus lane, as “the single white line”);

and extending along the whole of that length of road.

(2) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1) above, where the single white line marking the boundary of a bus lane is broken by a gap opposite and adjacent to the junction of such a length of road with any other road or at a pedestrian crossing, the boundary shall nevertheless be regarded as continuing unbroken.

(3) In this Order–

(a) a reference to a length of road specified in the Schedule or a part of the Schedule is a reference to a length of road described in a single paragraph of the Schedule or that part of the Schedule;

(b) a reference to the relevant edge of the carriageway, in relation to a length of road described in a paragraph of the Schedule, is a reference to the edge on the side of the road indicated by the Schedule;

(c) a reference to an adjacent part of the road, in relation to a bus lane, is a reference to an area that is not within the bus lane but is within the carriageway of the length of road which comprises the bus lane;

(d) a reference, in relation to a bus lane, to a gap in the single white line includes a reference to a place where instead of there being a single white line there is a broken line.
