About this bus lane
Buses only, and stricter than the county's other camera-enforced bus lane at Trostre — the council states plainly that at Burry Port the bus lane may only be used by buses, so taxis and cycles are not exempt here. It applies to part of the carriageway of Seaview Terrace and operates around the clock.
Camera enforcement started on 1 August 2022. A bus for these purposes is one built to carry more than eight passengers.
Transcribed from Carmarthenshire County Council's bus lane enforcement page and from the council's response to Freedom of Information request FOIA/20401, answered 5 August 2026, which supplied the hours of operation and the enforcement start date.

Frequently asked questions
What are the operating times of the Seaview Terrace bus lane?
The Seaview Terrace Bus Lane (Burry Port) in Carmarthenshire 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 Seaview Terrace bus lane?
Carmarthenshire County Council issues a Penalty Charge Notice of £70, reduced to £35 if paid within 21 days. There are no penalty points — it is a civil penalty.
Who is allowed to use the Seaview Terrace bus lane?
Buses are permitted. Not permitted: cars, vans, lorries, taxis, motorcycles and cycles.
Can I appeal a PCN from the Seaview Terrace bus lane?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Make formal representations to Carmarthenshire County Council first — the authority that issued the PCN has to consider them before it can enforce the penalty. If Carmarthenshire County Council rejects them it must issue a Notice of Rejection, and you can then appeal free to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal. 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 £35 discounted rate accepts liability and closes the case, so challenge before you pay.
