It's not unusual, particularly in urban areas, for roads to have a
separate lane to the left of the carriageway for cycles and/or buses.
Such lanes are delineated with white lines. These lines have a
non-zero width.

The question is, are the lines considered part of the lane that they
delineate? Or, to put it another way, is the width of the
bus/cycle/whatever lane measured to the inside of the white line or
the outside of the line (or, possibly, to the centre of the white
line)?


Common sense would suggest that the traffic on both sides should avoid
the line, thus ensuring there is a gap between them.


The common sense view of course may of course differ from the legally
correct answer.

Hence my question :-)
