Bus lane 'dissuaders'

[silverfoxcc]

The Gt Hollands and Birch Hill Ringmead is bisected by the A3095 and has a bus only crossing with traffic lights. Despite the bloody great No Entry signs, some nutters ignore it . There are two great holes with what can best be described as 'raised manhole covers' to stop these antics but because of the amount of mis-usage, should IMHO be changed to pop down poles. However the driver of the small vehicle today really made a ricket and dropped a wheel down the hole and rode up on the 'manhole cover' Airbags and a rather altered underneath to show for it. Trouble it there were several buses stuck behind it, all wanting to either turn right to Crowthorne ,or go forward to Birch Hill.

quite why the law allows for street obstacles that seriously damage cars on the roads we pay for I'll never quite understand. Particularly when they only let mahoosive empty buses belching out clouds of choking smoke through.

Bus lanes should only be exclusive morning and afternoon rush hours weekdays. Outside of these times they're an enormous waste of the road network,

But I guess if we're dumb enough to elect anti-car, sandal wearing bearded green nuts who think cars are making the sun go out, what do we expect them to do?

And...b.r.e.a.t.h.e

I remember being out walking in caversham a few years ago and crossing Hemdean road at junction of church street, I was blinded by the sun and tripped over the bloody great yellow raised rectangle in the bus lane and injured my knee, I felt more of a pillock to be honest at the time but the tts who pass this ste need shafting by a wild pig, it's nor just cars that they damage.

Vicious looking buggers aren't' they!

I'd always assumed they were some kind of mechanism that would change the lights when the bus was over it.
