What is no buses sign for?

[CoolHands]

I caused carnage earlier as I reversed out of a road I was turning into when I saw said sign. That’s due to the level of paranoia I’ve been led to have by our wonderful london boroughs, and I’m not paying a fine for no fker. (I thought it must mean buses only)

Anyway when home I googled the sign and in fact it is a ‘no buses more than 8 passenger seats’, except local buses. (A double decker turned in while I was there by the way!). But if you think about it, what’s the point? All London buses are on a route, so they’re not going to randomly go down a road they’re not allowed to. And no others ‘buses’ are going to be travelling around london side roads?

That’s weird! No buses, except buses

Yes, maybe there’s some kind of local issue eg a bit like a religious temple or football ground type scenario.

Not quite the same but been enjoying this one recently while I’m staying somewhere nearby. Both sides have right of way in some kind of st traffic calming. Is this allowed? What’s the point in give way etc if they can just make it up as they go along.
