Road users allowed in a bus lane typically include:
- Buses, which are the primary users of the bus lane.
- Emergency vehicles (e.g., police cars, ambulances, fire trucks) when responding to emergencies.
- Drivers making legal right turns or entering/exiting driveways.
- Cyclists or people on bicycles, where permitted.
- Licensed taxis, in many areas.
- In some regions, motorcycles may also be allowed.
Other vehicles are generally prohibited during the posted hours of bus lane operation, and parking or stopping in bus lanes during these times is illegal. Specific permissions can vary by locality, so it is important to check local signs and regulations. In summary, bus lanes are mainly reserved for buses but often allow some other users like emergency vehicles, taxis, cyclists, and drivers making right turns as exceptions.
