Transit lanes can be used by vehicles containing a certain number of people. Public buses and minibuses, taxis, hire cars with HC number plates, motorcycles and bicycles, as well as emergency, special purpose and breakdown vehicles, can also use transit lanes, regardless of the number of people in their vehicles.

Transit lanes can only be used during the times and days specified on the sign when there are two or more people in a vehicle, including the driver. If there are less than the required number of people in the vehicle, a transit lane can only be entered for a maximum of 100m to:

* Enter or leave the road

* Overtake another vehicle turning right or making a U-turn

* Enter a lane from the side of the road.

Please be advised this data is valid as at 2008. Also it demarcates the location of where the transit lanes are stamped on the road, not necessarily of the extent of the lanes themselves.
