Map of bus/motorcycle lanes in ACT?

Due to the increased traffic congestion in the mornings, I’ve started using my motorbike to travel to work.

I’m trying to plan the quickest route based on where the bus lanes are (motorcyclists can use them).

Is there a map showing all bus lanes in ACT?

You can cross this one off the list. It now seems to be a “I’m turning left in about 2km, so I can use this lane” and the “I heard once that the bus lane was open during road works, so it must still be true” lane.

This really annoys me, I’m just waiting for someone to pull out and get cleaned up by a fast moving bus.

You’ll be waiting a while. I think in all my life I’ve never seen a “fast moving bus”.

and please don’t mistake the bicycle lanes for motorbike lanes!

Just make sure to check the signage, there’s a few types of bus lanes and motorcycles aren’t allowed in the ‘bus only’ lanes. It’s a tiny sign and is easy to miss. It’s the only thing to differentiate the bus lane.

AFAIK the list isn’t very long and therefore not mapped.
– Adelaide Avenue
– Barry Drive
– Flemington Road

Those are the only ones of any significance. There a few smaller ones scattered around though:

– Barton/Nthborne intersection that allows you to bypass the traffic that builds up (going South bound)
– Left turning lane for buses turning left from Melrose Drive onto Yarra Glen
