What does it mean if the signs at a bus lane show no times of operation?
- A The lane is not in operation
- B The lane is only in operation at peak times
- C The lane is in operation 24 hours a day
- D The lane is only in operation in daylight hours
Why this is the answer
Bus-lane signs show the vehicles allowed to use the lane and its times of operation. Where no times are shown, the bus lane is in operation 24 hours a day.
Why the other answers don't fit
- A
- The lane is not in operation — A sign with no times on it is still a sign, and it is in force.
- B
- The lane is only in operation at peak times — Peak-time lanes say so, with the hours printed on the sign.
- D
- The lane is only in operation in daylight hours — No bus lane is governed by daylight. If hours applied, the sign would give them.

Where this question comes from
The question, its options and the explanation are reproduced word for word from the DVSA revision question bank under licence. The licence requires them to appear unaltered, so we cannot reword them and neither can anyone else — that is why you will meet the same wording on other sites.
