The Motorways Traffic (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2025
Date published:
The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) has made a Statutory Rule entitled “The Motorways Traffic (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2025” (S.R. 2025 No. 134) which comes into operation on 8 October 2025.
The Rule will amend The Motorways Traffic Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2008 to change the operational hours of bus lanes that use the hard shoulder on motorways so they may be used at any time as directed by signage. It will also amend the description of some of these bus lanes to better reflect the existing road markings.
A copy of the Rule may be viewed at DfI offices during office hours (Monday to Friday 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.) by appointment only. Appointments can be arranged by telephone on 0300 200 2899. The Rule may also be viewed online at http://www.infrastructure-ni.gov.uk/publications
