When a bus is travelling in the bus lane faster than the vehicles in the normal lanes, is it considered overtaking?
Overtaking
Explanation
When a bus travels in the **bus lane** faster than vehicles in the regular lanes, **it is not considered overtaking**. This is because reserved lanes, like the bus lane, are specifically designed for certain types of vehicles, allowing them to travel at a different speed without it being considered overtaking.
- **Reserved lanes**: Buses traveling in lanes reserved for them can do so at a different speed than vehicles in adjacent lanes. This is a permitted situation and is not classified as overtaking.
- **Definition of overtaking**: Overtaking involves changing lanes to pass another vehicle in the same direction of travel. In the case of the bus lane, the bus does not change lanes to pass other vehicles; it simply travels in its reserved lane.
Therefore, when a bus travels faster in its reserved lane, it is not performing an overtaking according to traffic regulations.
