Default Commute from Chesham to S. Bush via A40 - bad idea?

What's more difficult is a situation like Cambridge where a road's
bus lane was extended to Sundays for one bus every half hour (like
weekdays, 7am to 7pm; but the first bus Sunday is at 9.30am).

But there is no traffic level justification for hugely complicating
the signage for the bus lanes.

I didn't find the earlier "Mon-Sat, 7am-7pm" signage hugely
complicated.


You seemed to be advocating different start times on Sundays.


I'm saying it shouldn't be active on Sundays. The late start to the
bus service is just one of the reasons.

There's a time and place for 24x7 bus lanes (or even 12x7), but
Victoria Avenue in Cambridge isn't one of them.


Just as well Victoria Avenue isn't 24x7 then.


It's not the place for the 12x7 variant.


The bus lane is there when it is needed which includes Sundays.
