Subsections:

Also known as “floating” or “parking-adjacent” lanes, offset transit lanes place transit vehicles in the right-most moving lane, but are offset from the curb by street parking, curb extensions, or raised cycle tracks.

Curbside Transit Lane
Curbside transit lanes can be implemented with varying levels of separation, increasing service capacity and allowing riders to board directly from the curb.

Rail Lane, Side-Running
Streetcar and light rail lines can be configured in the right-most travel lane, either curbside or offset by parking. Whether in dedicated or mixed-traffic lanes, rail paths must be kept clear from all but the briefest obstructions.

Center Transit Lane
Center transit lanes can play a key role in creating high-quality transit service, especially where traffic congestion may significantly affect reliability. While traditionally found on streetcar streets, center transit lanes can be used with buses as well.

Peak-Only Bus Lane
A peak-only bus lane can operate as a dedicated bus lane at peak travel periods and provide general curbside uses at other times. Wider lanes can enable an effective bicycle lane off-peak adjacent to parking.

Shared Bus-Bike Lane
Buses and bicycles often compete for the same space near the curb. Although not a high-comfort bike facility, in appropriate conditions, bus-bike lanes are an option on streets where dedicated bus and bicycle facilities cannot be provided.

Contraflow Transit Lane
Contraflow lanes are typically applied to transit routes to create strategic, efficient connections, but may also be applied to longer corridors in some types of street networks.
