Bus lane

A bus lane is a section of the carriageway marked with solid or broken lines and labelled “BUS” or “LIJNBUS” (scheduled bus).

If a bus lane is marked “BUS,” only buses or scheduled buses may use it.
If a bus lane is marked “LIJNBUS,” only scheduled bus drivers are permitted to use it.
Emergency services may use the bus lane; they are exempt from the RVV if required for their duties.

Taxis often have an exemption. Taxi drivers are permitted to use the bus lane. A sign may indicate this.
Other drivers are not permitted to use a bus lane.

You are not allowed to stop in a bus lane or on the carriageway adjacent to a bus lane, including to let someone in or out quickly, as shown in the photo.
