Bus and Cycle Lane

The lanes reserved for buses are separated with a white line as bus lane marking on the road. The words “BUS LANE” are marked at the beginning of the lane and are repeated at each junction. If you enter into such a lane while driving any vehicle other than a bus, it will be considered as a violation of rules, and you will be penalised. Apart from a penalty, there are chances of the severe accident since the lane is meant for bus and bus driver might not expect other vehicles in the bus lane. Similarly, cycle lane markings are provided when a portion of the road is designated for the bicyclists. Cycle lane markings consist of bicycle symbol painted on the road, which may also be supplemented by the words “CYCLE TRACKS”. Motorised vehicles should not enter into such cycle lanes.
