Bus and minibus reservation: what it means

What it means

An area is reserved for buses and minibuses. One version of the sign reserves a road and the other reserves a parking area.

What you must do

If you are not driving a bus or a minibus, do not use the road or the parking area.

Remember

Buses and minibuses only.

Test yourself

1. Question 1

   

   Which ONE of the following is NOT a vehicle for which the sign shown reserves an area?

   • A A bus
   • B An abnormal vehicle
   • C A minibus
   Show answer

   Answer: B: An abnormal vehicle

   The sign shows a bus above a minibus, so it reserves an area for those two, not for an abnormal vehicle.

   You are driving a motor car. The parking area you wish to use displays the sign shown. What does the law require of you?

   • A You may not use it; it is for buses and minibuses

   • C You may use it to drop off a passenger
   Show answer

   Answer: A: You may not use it; it is for buses and minibuses

   The sign shows a P above a bus and a minibus, so a motor car may not park there.
