The road signs that will ban drivers from "Olympic lanes"
Road signs giving priority to 50,000 members of the "Olympic family" were unveiled today.
The signs show how normal motorists and buses will have to give way to official vehicles during the Games to allow the so-called "Zil lanes" to operate. The priority road corridors will operate typically from 7am to 7pm on a third of the 106-mile Olympic network.
Published by Transport for London, the signs show how official traffic will have exclusive use of the right-hand lane of a dual carriageway, in a few cases shared by local buses

Re: The road signs that will ban drivers from "Olympic lanes"
While I in no way support the idea of "Zil lanes" as they existed in the Soviet Union, it is worth noting that they usually constituted one lane out of between five and seven lanes on the multi-lane prospekts, not one of two lanes as is the case in much of Olympic-occupied London.
