The thread went exactly as I expected to be honest.
My own fault but as I say sign is not clear and is 100mtrs from the actual start of the bus zone. The signage could be a whole lot better, but it wouldn't bring in the revenue it has generated if they did that.

The vast majority on here that don't know that particular area and have clearly never been would sharp change their tune if they had actually experienced it for themselves. I reckon every single person that is unfamiliar with the area would be done by it, the signs are that bad. It's intentional to generate as much money as possible. It really is shocking and that's coming from somebody that has no sympathy for this kind of thing usually.

I recognise a bus lane sign when I see one.
I think many more things should be punishable by fine but not points
This is one you definitely shouldn’t get points for.
Points need to be reserved for dangerous drivers. Using a bus lane might inconvenience a bus but it isn’t dangerous.
Speeding - points
Phone - points
Run a red - points
Bus lane - fine
Just say you drove out of the bottom of glasgow road onto Edinburgh road as you cannot see the bus gate (whatever that is) sign from there.Just had a nice letter from the lovely people at south tyneside council stating I owe them £60.00 reduced to £30.00 if paid in 28 days.
I did the unthinkable crime of leaving the scotch estate Jarra via Edinburgh road.
Had the council put up a no access sign to all traffic apart from busses I would have understood what it meant. The sign they put up is ambiguous to say the least so I am expecting several more in the coming weeks.
Anyone else on here been caught out
I almost got caught out by the bus and tram lanes in Sheffield
But in my defence it was night, I’d never been there before and my friend gave shit directions
It's a nightmare for the residents in stirling avenue now. Like a rat run in the mornings people trying to get off the estate onto the bottom of the john reid road. Then God help you if you are trying to get across 3 lanes to turn right for shields.
Good lad is lee.He got interviewed on the local tele news once on a bus to away game in Europe, they asked him how far he would travel to watch Newcastle, his response was 'I'd gan to the moon to watch the toon'

Clearly don't know the area.

Why would I need to, there's a sign showing a bus lane ahead and an alternative route for other traffic.
Not rocket science is it?

Well if you knew the area you'd know that you don't/won't see the sign depending on where you've been or are coming from. Obviously the thousands of people getting done, appealing and complaining to the paper means nothing and a spanner 250 miles away that has never been knows better.

I understsnd your annoyance but that stretch of road has had a lot of publicity. I don’t think there is anything wrong with the signage but have a go about it if you thinkyou can win. I have had 8 parking tickets and all rescinded, but you must have a case.
they went to the trouble of writing a story but couldnt be arsed to go an get an actual photo of the junction, so used a google maps image and a stock photo of a traffic camera?

If those thousands had a case it would be heard and they would get off.
