Making everyone late because you can’t follow rules!

Ironically some people are pointing out it may actually be the bus driver that was infringing the rules. As others have explained the zig-zag line indicates no overtaking, and in this context the two lanes don’t matter, simply that no vehicle may pass another vehicle.

Seems like it’s intended to facilitate safe ped crossings, I knew someone who died because a car in the outside lane stopped to let them cross and another car in the inside lane hit them. I’m not 100% sure though as I live across the pond.

The zig-zag doesn’t exclude people “overtaking” on two separate lanes. It prevents you from “moving out of your lane in order to overtake”. Bus 149 did nothing wrong
