The Use of Bus Lanes by Motorcycles [http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20120606214004/http:/assets.dft.gov.uk/publications/tal-2-07/tal-2-07.pdf]<br />

This reversed previous advice in LTN 1/97 against the practice and now recommends that local authorities actively consider allowing motorcycles to use bus lanes.<br />
<br />
The leaflet encourages authorities to consider the following points:<br />
• The safety implications involved in restricting motorcyclists to general traffic lanes, against the possible problems of allowing motorcyclists into the bus lane;<br />
<br />
• The effect on other vulnerable road users, especially pedestrians and cyclists;<br />
<br />
• The possible impact on bus journey time reliability due to additional traffic in the bus lane;<br />
<br />
• The reduction in congestion for other traffic on routes currently used by motorcyclists; <br />
<br />
• The potential for modal shift if motorcycling is seen as a more convenient means of transport; <br />
<br />
• The potential for overall improvements in transport efficiency; <br />
<br />
• Local publicity to help advise road users of a policy change; and <br />
<br />
• Continuity of bus lane routes which admit motorcycles. <br />
