• Abstract:
  Transitways are defined as exclusive, physically separated, access controlled, high-occupancy vehicle priority treatment facilities which are typically located within existing freeway right(s)-of-way. Transitways are sometimes referred to as busways, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, or authorized vehicle lanes (AVLs). This revised manual is divided into two primary technical divisions: (1) Transitway main lanes and connections; and (2) Transitway support facilities. Each of these technical divisions addresses transitway planning, design, and operational considerations. Information· presented within this transitway manual should promote effective planning, uniformity of design, and operational efficiency for transitway facilities in Texas.
