Abstract:
Traffic lanes set aside for the use of specific categories of vehicles are becoming more common, from dedicated bicycle lanes on urban roadways to managed lanes for carpools and other high occupancy vehicles on Florida’s interstate highways. These lanes can offer advantages, such as improved travel time, safety, and travel-time reliability. In an urban setting, it can be helpful to provide special lanes for buses and bicycles, but it is often difficult to justify having both when roadway right of way is limited. One solution is the shared bicycle/bus lane (SBBL). Several cities in the U.S. and abroad have created these lanes, so there is some experience with their planning, management, and enforcement.
