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.
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.
