The amendment Rule:

    * extends the overall length allowed for certain types of ‘rigid bus’ to reflect the dimensions currently permitted for some buses under exemptions;
    * allows buses to be fitted with bicycle racks, which may project beyond the allowed overall length or dimension of the vehicle;

&quot;A bicycle rack fitted to the front of a bus... is not included in determining the overall length or forward distance of the bus, provided that the vehicle complies with the appliable swept path performance measures in Schedule 8&quot;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
