Proposed Congestion Charge to access Oxford Station

[fishwomp]

Those are bus overtakes, not bus gates, ..

It looks like I'm wrong: I always knew them as bus gates but the list on https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/tran...ng-and-bus-gate-fines/bus-lanes-and-bus-gates lists only those that don't have a parallel car thing with a traffic light that the bus activates - ie. it's a genuine no through road for some category of things at some time of day. A quick trawl of the web sees the local press calling the priority lanes bus gates back in 2007 when some were added in Headington - so it may be a common error.

Can't otherwise find a real name for them.

FWIW - that list on https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/tran...ng-and-bus-gate-fines/bus-lanes-and-bus-gates does list all the gates and the conditions under which they can be passed and what kind of vehicle
