Contra-flow bus lane
A blue rectangle showing a bus going against the main traffic flow. Buses travel in the opposite direction to the rest of the traffic on this road — usually on a one-way street where the bus lane bypasses the one-way restriction. Watch carefully when emerging from side roads or when crossing on foot.
