I wonder how many double-decker buses have passed that tree without

Judging by the ones on the Kingsway, quite a few *do* hit them. It's
also quite uncomfortable as a passenger watching trees rush by only
6" or so away.

The best solution for the Kingsway would, IMO, be bus lanes up the
middle and other traffic (with a height restriction, presumably) on
the left. Zebra crossings could be provided to access stops - this
kind of arrangement is very common in Germany, and works very well,
also having the benefit that buses don't bang over grids etc quite as
often.

Do the Germans have laws to shoot motorists passing stopped buses, or
signs saying it is not allowed? I think some places do.

He's talking about a triple carriageway. The central carriageway is two-way
for buses. The bus stops are on the reservations.
