Driving in a bus stop road marking?

The_Nipper_One

Hi all, I've been looking for an answer to something, but can't seem to find one anywhere.

I was wondering if it is ok to drive in Bus Stop road markings?

The particular one I am talking about sits just before a set of traffic lights, and the lane for going straight at the traffic lights forms on the left immediately after the bus stop markings. I attempted to pull into the left lane without entering the bus stop markings, but as there were already cars waiting at the lights I was not able to complete the lane change. This left me partially in both lanes.

There was however enough room for me to complete the lane change if I would have begun my switch earlier and driven through the bus stop markings.

I'll attach a simple paint of it.
The blue line is the path I took, the red Square is the bus stop road marking. The road had been a single lane road up untill that point.

Thanks to anyone who helps.

Good to know, thanks.

Everywhere I looked told me not to park in it only, just wanted to double check and make sure it was ok to drive through

Stay left and ignore it. No need to drive around it.

You are not parking in it. Merely stopping briefly.
