• 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.
