Maybe the people who didn't know what a bus gate is (for those travelling into Durham, that lane by Greggs in Fram is one) had this in mind https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresti...ndroid_app&utm_source=share

Gateshead needs to invest in road signs, outside the town (is it still a metropolitan Borough) centre so drivers from elsewhere don't end up doing ridiculous loops to avoid getting snarled up in the bus lanes.
