• Abstract:
  This report presents an analysis of HOV improvements for two signalized arterials in the Seattle metropolitan area. The first involves a planned 1,000 foot queue jumper lane on NE Pacific St. in the University District of Seattle. This planned improvement was studied prior to its implementation in Spring of 1990. As part of this study, an extensive before-data set was developed. The planned improvement is now in place, and an extensive after-study is now in progress as part of a follow-up project. The second study was more of a feasibility analysis of possible HOV improvements for a suburban arterial. Specifically, NE 85th/Redmond Way, a 2.5 mile stretch of arterial from Interstate 405 in Kirkland to Willows Road in Redmond, was identified as one of the highest priority arterials to be considered for HOV improvements.
