About this bus lane
Hull City Council lists this as one of the seven corridors carrying bus lanes. Operating hours and permitted vehicles are published council-wide rather than per lane, so the exact extent of the lane along this corridor is not stated — check roadside signage.
Enforcement is by ANPR camera; the council has 14 fixed cameras across the city but does not publish their individual locations.

Frequently asked questions
What are the operating times of the Anlaby Road bus lane?
The Anlaby Road Bus Lane in Hull operates Monday to Saturday, 7am to 9.30am and 4pm to 6.30pm. Outside these hours, general traffic may use the road normally.
How much is the fine for driving through the Anlaby Road bus lane?
Hull City 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 Anlaby Road bus lane?
Bicycles, buses and vehicles with seats for ten people including the driver, liveried emergency service vehicles, solo two-wheeled motorcycles and hackney carriages and licensed private hire vehicles are permitted. Not permitted: cars, vans and lorries.
Can I appeal a PCN from the Anlaby Road bus lane?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Make formal representations to Hull City Council first — the authority that issued the PCN has to consider them before it can enforce the penalty. If Hull City 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. The grounds that win here are that your vehicle was not in the bus lane during its operating times shown above, that it was an exempt vehicle, 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.
