Why bus lanes need low barriers such as road markers or a very low median kerb

I can just see this one happening on Coronation Drive!
Every time a hold up occurs, a small number of motorists invade the T2 lane.
Everyone else sees this and follows.

Then the T2 lane is just full of congestion and completely useless.

Keating's red-light charge dismissed

Former prime minister Paul Keating has been acquitted of driving through a red traffic light in central Sydney, with a magistrate finding there was ''reasonable doubt'' about the allegation.

In his evidence, Mr Keating said he had accelerated through the intersection and the light was yellow when he crossed the stop line.

''The light was yellow, not a doubt in the world,'' he told the court.

He denied police allegations that he was impatient on the day and in a hurry after being held up by Australia Day celebrations, which had caused traffic congestion.

However, he admitted to driving in a bus lane in an attempt to ''shuffle'' through ''bumper to bumper'' cars.

''I must find reasonable doubt. I dismiss the allegation,'' Magistrate Carolyn Barkell said.
