Here, on the abandonned south bank of the Humber, we are a bit behind the times. We don't (yet) have traffic lights on roundabouts although they did talk about it (not sure what happened after the talk). Today, though I learned about a new traffic hazard we haven't got: a Bus Gate.

The Bus Gate is not in the Highway Code and is, I think, a bit of paint on the road that is supposed to represent a real gate that only buses may go through (other vehicles may be authorised). It is backed up by a camera system for revenue purposes or traffic safety (you choose).

Sometimes living in a backwater can be a good thing although it makes venturing out into civilisation a risky business, not to mention expensive.

Seems odd that a traffic control system is in use without it being mentioned in the Highway Code.
