Abstract:This study examines the design and operations of bus lanes in major congested urban centers. It focuses on shared-use bus lanes that operate in mixed traffic conditions.
Study Methods
The key questions addressed are:
1. How do the many public agencies within any region that share authority over different aspects of bus lanes coordinate work in designing, operating, and enforcing the lanes?
2. What is the physical design of the lanes?
3. What is the scope of the priority use granted to buses? When is bus priority in effect, and what other users may share the lanes?
4. How are the lanes enforced?
To answer these questions, the study developed detailed cases on seven cities that currently have networks of shared-use bus lanes: Los Angeles, London, New York, Paris, San Francisco, Seoul, and Sydney.
