Motorcycles: Bus Lanes

Asked by Paul DaviesLabourDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 18 September 2025UIN 76514

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of bringing forward legislative proposals to enable powered two wheelers to use bus lanes in each region in England.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Government remains committed to supporting efforts to improve the safety of road users but has no plans to bring forward legislation to allow motorcycles and other powered two wheelers to access bus lanes by default. Decisions on this matter are for local highway authorities to make on a case-by-case basis.
