Dedicated bus lanes are a fact of urban life. No vehicles other than mass transit vehicles are allowed in the lanes, to allow for speedier bus service.
Cars, however, yearn to breathe free in the wide open lanes, so it is common for drivers to take over the lane, slowing down bus service.
San Francisco, like many other cities, is considering putting cameras on buses to allow them to photograph violators so that the police can ticket them.
Manchester, England has a better idea. It put in bollards (posts) that lower into the pavement when a bus arrives and immediately rise afterwards. Drivers who tailgate are often caught by the bollards, which nets us this enjoyable video of the scofflaws receiving their comeuppance.
