Effective Bus-Only Lanes

Michael Kiesling, Matthew Ridgway

Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

This paper explores geometric design and institutional barriers to effective bus-only lanes in the United States. It highlights design features for effective bus lanes in those communities with bus-only lanes (US and abroad) and discusses institutional barriers, such as objections to remote enforcement and mixed-flow vehicle capacity reduction. It uses the City of San Francisco as an example of how a network of bus-only lanes could be implemented and what benefits could be derived.
