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.
