What the article failed to point out was that Haringey council would
have made exactly £0 if all the drivers had actually obeyed the rules.
Councils can't use cameras as revenue-raisers unless drivers let them.
May I refer you to the thread in uk.transport where drivers HAVE been
issued FPNs for (legitimately) crossing a bus lane?
Surely the drivers would have challenged them. You are allowed to cross
over a bus lane, for example on Holloway Road where there are parking
bays that requires you to cross a bus lane to reach them (in force 7am
to 7pm).
It seems strange that you are not allowed to drive in the bus lane but
are allowed to hold up buses by parking up.
I have seen other bus lanes where it is permitted to park but not to
drive. One of those is in Haringey on Turnpike Lane eastbound (part of
the A504).
