Car Traps on the Cambridge Busway

Because of the design of the Cambridge Busway, cars which have a narrower wheel-track than buses would not be able to run along the track.  So a simple trap is placed at each road crossing to stop cars getting on the busway.

Cambridge Busway - Car Trap

The trap will obviously catch a car that shouldn’t be going up the busway.  But supposing a driver makes a mistake at a junction in heavy rain and turns up the road, then how long will it take to get a vehicle out? 

At least I suppose all the passengers could get out of the bus and push the car away.

  1. id love to see how that trap works. as i would have thought u could just go to the side of it, 2 wheels on concrete 2 in the trap and youd be straight through. Looks rather pathetic, would have thought most cars would get through it anyway.
