Abstract:This report investigates issues related to planning, financing, deployment, and operation of managed
lanes on arterials. In this report, a strategy for managed lanes refers to a combination of the managed
lane type, the design and implementation, and the scheme for managing traffic on these lanes. Our
investigation indicates that high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, high-occupancy/toll (HOT) lanes,
express-toll (ET) lanes, and bus-only lanes are suitable for implementation on arterials in Florida.
Details concerning their designs and implementations are discussed along with traffic management
schemes such as intersection treatment, segment management, and automatic enforcement. A flow chart
for determining an appropriate managed lane strategy for implementation is also provided.
The report also identifies the necessary steps in performance evaluation before and after an
implementation of a managed lane project along with other issues such as agency responsibility and use
of toll revenue, when applicable. Useful evaluation tools such as sketch, project, and operational
planning are also identified in this report. Finally, two procedures are proposed, one for selecting
arterials for managed lane implementations and the other for evaluating a deployment plan for managed
lanes.
