Traffic which does not wish to turn
right tends to avoid the queues by
diving into the bus lane.

And then whinges when it gets snapped doing so, right?

So perhaps Mr purple can explain what the problem is?

The problem is that bus lane cameras are not billed as "A solution to the
problem of cars undertaking right-turners", they are billed as "A solution
to the problem of buses being held up by traffic". Placing the camera where
it will fine cars undertaking right-turners is dishonest immoral taxation. I
don't see why bus lanes shouldn't be treated like box junctions - no-one
should be fined unless they actually stop in one.

Aside from the obvious problem of cars getting trapped behind stopped
buses, there's the problem of buses being held up by cars moving at a
crawl to avoid having to actually stop!
