Of course Oxford having to be different means that, unlike everwhere else with bus lanes, the city has bus lanes that are only about 3″ wider than a bus. This means that a bus can’t overtake a cyclist and stay within the confines of the bus lane. Mind you the same roads have pavement 15-20′ wide which cyclists are not supposed to use. I wonder why the cyclists ride on the pavement? The answer to that should be blindingly obvious eve to our dememnted traffic management planners. There’s no way I would ride in the bus lane when there’s adequate space on the pavement for me and the pedestrians.
