A campaign has been launched that calls for parents to be allowed to use bus lanes during the school run.
Cars with children in the back during the morning school run hours of 8 and 9 would be able to use the bus lane without worrying about congestion or a hefty fine, under the proposal. The majority of bus lanes are already open for taxis and motorbikes to use on UK roads. Tim Alcock from LeaseCar.uk said: “Parents and carers up and down the UK can really relate to the frustration of the school run, with your kids arguing in the back telling you you’ve forgotten their PE kit or lunchbox. It’s easy to get frustrated and getting stuck in traffic knowing they’ll be late to school isn’t helping anyone.
Data shows that less than 40% of children are able to get to school on foot, with many families having to rely on cars to get to and from school. It's also argued that easing bus lanes restrictions and allowing school run drivers to use the often empty lane would also help ease up congestion for other road users.
No only buses can use bus lanes, and emergency vehicles if on an emergency so why are even asking 🤷🏻♀️
No. Doesn’t even need discussing.
How could this possibly be policed? No!
Absolutely NOT
No of course not. really
