NI Parking Rules
Can I enter a bus lane in Northern Ireland to access a property?
In some circumstances yes, where the premises can only be accessed from the bus lane.
nidirect lists access to premises next to, or only accessible from, a bus lane among the circumstances in which a vehicle may enter.
This is an access exemption, not a general right to continue driving along the lane. Enter only as needed to reach or leave the premises and follow the local signs.
