So right after the Nannies se up the point to point speed cameras and the intersection cameras they'll set up bus lane cameras

 

https://www.dailymai...5s-Britain.html

 

 

Councils have been accused of being more ruthless than ‘cowboy clampers’ after it emerged they are handing out almost 2500 bus lane fines every day.

Details obtained following a Freedom of Information request showed town halls raked in up to £41million from drivers who strayed into bus lanes last year.

In total, 888,760 fines were dished out, up six per cent from 838,009 the previous year.

Wait. Are people complaining that they are fining too many people for breaking the law? So what a cop can only hand out 30 tickets a week and if they see a 31st person driving in the bus lanes they get off free?

They have linked lots of these lanes to cameras and are fining cars even if 1 wheel enters the lane....its all about revenue generation at this point

They use mind control, and the man in the camera makes you enter the lane, then he pulls out a little pen that flashes, so you forget about the man and only know about the ticket.  It's all about revenue generation.

What section of the Victoria and Saanich traffic bylaws permits cars to travel in a bus lane providing they're turning off in that block?

More accurately, s.152 of the MVA creates the authority for bus/HOV lanes and the ability for the Lieutenant Governor-in-Council to make regulations prescribing their conditions of use.  Regulations outlining these conditions are in Division 42 of the MVAR.

Now the taxis carrying passengers want to use the bus lanes.

I'm sure we can get some more of these special interest groups out of the car lanes to free up the roads.

I'm running with the premise that the bus lanes aren't HOV lanes but rather 'Designated Use Lanes'
 

 From http://www.bclaws.ca...8_05#section119

"designated use lane" means a lane of highway in respect of which a traffic control device indicates that the lane is reserved for the exclusive use of persons, organizations, vehicles or cycles or classes of persons, organizations, vehicles or cycles prescribed under section 209.1 or specified in a bylaw or resolution of the council of a municipality under section 124.2;

"high occupancy vehicle lane" means a lane of a laned roadway in respect of which prescribed signs or markings indicate that the lane is reserved for the exclusive use of buses, motor vehicles that meet prescribed occupancy requirements and other prescribed motor vehicles and devices;
  
Then... 

Designated use lane
153.2  If a highway has a designated use lane, a person must not drive, operate, stand or park a motor vehicle in that lane except as authorized by a regulation under section 209.1 or a bylaw or resolution of the council of a municipality under section 124.2

 

Div 42 of the MVAR deals with High Occupancy Lanes, not Designated Use Lanes, hence why I was looking for the municipal bylaw permitting travel in the lane by car drivers to enter/exit the highway.

An interesting map.

I predict that once the Mckenzie Interchange is completed the new bottleneck will be the intersection at Douglas, Bolskine and Saanich Road.

Needs more lane reductions and bike lanes added, that'll fix it

It seemed unusually bad to me as well, further north in Saanich. Perhaps just a combination of twilight/dusk lighting, rain, and rush hour.

Yup. I walked home 6km last night rather than stand in the sardine-can bus in stopped traffic.

That intersection already sucks but I do not see any reason it will get much worse

All for a stupid rail line that will never be used again. This has to be THE dumbest region on the planet when it comes to this stuff.
