  • Abstract:
    These guidelines are not intended to supersede Caltrans’

    Transportation Planning Manual, Project Development

    Procedures Manual, Highway Design Manual, Manual

    on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and

    California Supplement to the MUTCD (which replaces

    the Caltrans’ Traffic Manual), or other inter-Department

    manuals, procedures or practices. These guidelines are

    not, and should not be used as a set of standards. The

    Guidelines are advisory in nature and are to be used only

    when every effort to conform to established standards

    has been exhausted. When conformance is not possible,

    the deviation must be documented by a sound and

    defensible analysis and an approved design exception

    fact sheet.

    The goal of these guidelines is to provide a “how to”

    document for planners, designers and operators of

    mainline HOV facilities. *Since individual site

    characteristics vary, only typical, full standard design

    scenarios can be presented. For situations not discussed,

    Districts are advised to consult the appropriate District

    and Headquarters representatives for advice and consent.

    resource, updated regularly for the most current HOV

    Program guidance, inventory, reports, and related links.
