Motorcycles and Bus Lane Widths
Dear Department for Transport,
The DfT document LTN 1/24 Bus User Priority states "For cyclists, sharing a bus lane with motorcycles can have a detrimental effect on perceived safety unless the lane is more than 4.5m wide". Please provide emails, documents, meeting minutes and other items that explain how the figure of 4.5 metres was arrived at, and why it is felt pedal cycles need more room to be overtaken by motorcycles than by buses.
Yours faithfully,
Marcus Houlden
