Frequently asked questions
What are the operating times of the Queensway Bus Terminus bus lane?
The Queensway Bus Terminus (Queensway entrance) Bus Lane in Weston-super-Mare operates 24 hours a day, all days including bank holidays, unless signage states otherwise. There is no time of day when general traffic may use it.
How much is the fine for driving through the Queensway Bus Terminus bus lane?
North Somerset 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 Queensway Bus Terminus bus lane?
Local buses, emergency vehicles and pre-authorised vehicles on the council exemption list are permitted. Not permitted: cars, vans, motorcycles, hackney carriages (taxis) and private hire vehicles.
Can I appeal a PCN from the Queensway Bus Terminus bus lane?
Yes, and it costs nothing. Make formal representations to North Somerset Council first — the authority that issued the PCN has to consider them before it can enforce the penalty. If North Somerset 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.
