Bexley does not class this as a bus lane. It told us it enforces no bus lanes anywhere in the borough, and that its bus gates are enforced as restricted routes.
This road appears nowhere in the penalty figures the council supplied, which cover every restricted-route camera it operates, so it may not be camera-enforced at all — but the council refused to release its camera locations, so that cannot be stated as fact. The lane and its signs still apply either way.

Got a PCN from this camera?

Frequently asked questions
What are the operating times of the Fraser Road bus lane?
The Fraser Road Bus Lane in Bexley operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is no time of day when general traffic may use it.
How much is the fine for driving through the Fraser Road bus lane?
London Borough of Bexley issues a Penalty Charge Notice of £160, reduced to £80 if paid within 14 days. There are no penalty points — it is a civil penalty.
Who is allowed to use the Fraser Road bus lane?
Buses and pedal cycles are permitted. Not permitted: cars, vans, lorries, taxis and private hire vehicles and motorcycles.
Can I appeal a PCN from the Fraser Road bus lane?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Make formal representations to London Borough of Bexley first — the authority that issued the PCN has to consider them before it can enforce the penalty. If London Borough of Bexley rejects them it must issue a Notice of Rejection, and you can then appeal free to the Environment and Traffic Adjudicators at London Tribunals. Its adjudicators are lawyers independent of the enforcing authority, and their decision is binding on both sides. This bus lane operates 24 hours, so "I was outside the operating times" is not open to you — the grounds that win here are that your vehicle was exempt, that the details on the PCN are wrong, or that the signage did not make the restriction clear. Note that paying the £80 discounted rate accepts liability and closes the case, so challenge before you pay.
