Best part of 200 drivers copped in first hour of operation.

It looks properly signed to me?

It looks properly signed to me? No arguments on that. Birmingham really got their fingers burnt with poor signage when they first introduced enforcement, they've been on top of bus lane signage since. The numbers caught reflect more on the drivers who don't look at signs or don't understand them. My major gripe is that it is another route closed to the normal motorist |

Well they get no sympathy from me, they should go and read the highway code again... -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

Do the signs need to illuminated? At night they would be quite hard to see, and the road markings would not be very visible in the rain!
I am sure that a simple "No Entry (except buses)" would be clearer and get more compliance - then again, that would mean less fines for the council coffers |

Not relevant to the cars in the DM video, as it's broad daylight. A no entry sign would not do as taxis cannot be exempted. -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php
