Filtering at Roadworks
Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2013 3:14 pmHi Folks,
I would like to get your opinions on a particular filtering matter.
There are major roadworks at the moment on the Kessock Bridge near Inverness, which has temporary 50 and 30mph limits on a 5 mile stretch of dual carriageway. For 3 miles of this, lane 2 is designated as "HGV's and buses only" and lane 1 as "all other traffic".
At rush hour the traffic in lane 1 usually grinds to a virtual halt, just stop start for 3 miles or so, but lane 2 "HGV's and buses" is usually pretty empty.
My question is basically, is it legal for a bike to slowly filter past the almost stopped lane 1 traffic whilst using the "HGV and bus lane"?
