For British Motorists: What is a "Bus Gate"?

And is it a national standard marking or something peculiar to the City of Bristol, where I saw the words on some streets recently?

Bus Lane, yes, and there are plenty of them in the city centre; but Bus Gate is new to me!

It’s a point on the road through which a bus is allowed to pass, but no other vehicles. It’s not a gate in any physical sense, just a drawing on the road. Part of the current persecution of people who like, or need, to travel by car.
