Between East Putney and Putney stations there is now a new bus lane
(don't know why because the service is very infrequent). Thing is that
the bus lane has several red route 1hr restricted parking bays in it.
It also has a traffic enforcement cameras sign at the start... How does
that work? If parking in the marked bay within a bus lane - which part
of the bus lane may you use to get to the parking space... Also the
rest of the Westbound traffic is now restricted to a lane of about 3ft
width so what happens to traffic which is wider - should they straddle
the bus and their lane or should they straddle their lane and the
oncomming traffic lane

Do the bus lane's operation hours and the parking bay's operation hours
overlap?

Presumably - I haven't seen a sign saying hours for the bus lane so
presumably its 24/7?

The 1 hr parking is allowed during the day 10am-4pm according to the
sign

Some bus lanes are 0700-1000, so maybe being new they just have not put the
sign up yet.

Interesting idea to put up the enforcement signs before the signs
explaining what they are enforcing... no wonder traffic wardens, etc.
are hated by so many
