One type of vehicle missing from that sign... are they banned?
I noticed this sign on the Bristol ring road. There's a special lane which is only for use by buses, HGVs, taxis, motorbikes, cars carrying at least two people and "authorised vehicles". So in effect it's a lane for every vehicle except cars without any passengers...

Nice idea, but how is this enforced?I recall an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry acquires a prostitute to occupy his passenger seat for the sole purpose of using the Car Pool Lane to get to his destination on time.
Kim, you are very bad!
Have pedal cycles ever not been allowed in bus lanes[1]? My understanding was they had right of way on the public highway, and it was legally difficult to ban them compared to motor vehicles.[1] Not counting dedicated roads that are the bus equivalent of motorways: Access roads to bus stations and the like.
In most US states (I've been in) it's enforceable by camera and mostly seems adhered to. The NJ turnpike had/has one (at peak times in certain areas). I used to pick up a homeless person in the Bronx and then kick them out in Piscataway (or wherever they sobered enough to realise they'd been kidnapped).Needs must. Plus you'd get a bonus from NYC for reducing their homeless population.
I hope they were wearing their seat belts!
