Is this strictly speaking legal. Yes. Actually, the answer could well be NO. It depends on the wording in the traffic order, assuming that there is an order in force and that there are yellow or red lines on the road at that point. Some, but not all, traffic orders state that a bus can stop to pick up or set down passengers at a stop, but there could well be no provision to wait at that point beyond doing so. Also, if there is no reference to a bus stop in the order, then a bus has no more right than any other vehicle to wait on a restricted stretch of road. I've known over-enthusiastic parking attendants in at least one nameless Inner London borough to ticket buses while they stood at a stop with no passengers in sight. Almost every day I see at least one bus "broken down" at a bus stop, doors closed, driver reading the paper, hazards flashing away. Buses must be very unreliable Are you certain that it's broken down? |
