Motorist dodges fine after driving through divisive Manchester bus gate - but others won't be able to
A motorist has managed to dodge a fine for driving through Manchester’s divisive bus gate — but others won't be able to now.
“I looked at the video and it was clear as day,” he explained. “I drove through it, there was no excuse.”However, after heading to the area to see how he could have made such a mistake, the driver, from Oldham, found out he had not missed a sign before the start of the bus gate. That was because, on his journey leaving the council-owned Bridge Street car park, there weren’t any.
That goes against official guidance, according to the motorist's tribunal claim. The Department for Transport's Traffic Signs Manual says: “4.3.5. While the financial incentive to place only one terminal sign is obvious, there will be many situations where two signs are necessary. Drivers should not be placed in the situation where they might not see the sign before making a manoeuvre at a road junction.
“It seems strange,” he went on. “To me, that says they’ve looked again [and realised] there’s no signs [from the car park]. I did not realise it.”
