The steel guide rails at the entrance and exit to the roadway
prevent anything other than guided buses from entering.


....

See this Streetview of the somewhat ******* child. Presumably the
short length of guiderail is to prevent guided buses falling into the
"car trap". But an unguided bus could drive through the gap if done

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
carefully enough - a couple of inches clearance either side.

Of course, it's an accident waiting to happen, because sooner or
later a driver will forget that the onward road isn't guided and take
his hands off the wheel. The drivers are not the sharpest tools in
the box.


Which are amongst the reasons why it's probably illegal under the ROGS
regulations.


So is speeding.
