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!

I mentioned it to a friend who lives near Bristol and I think sometimes has to drive into the city.

My beef was that they shouldn't invent non-standard signs. His reply, in exaggerated local dialect:

"Well, it is Brizzle!"
