Shared Transit/Right-Turn Lane On streets with a right-side dedicated transit lane that accommodates a moderate volume of right-turn movements, the transit lane can permit right turns approaching an intersection. Read More
Right-Turn Pocket Where right-turn volumes are high enough to interfere with transit operations but cannot be prohibited, providing a right-turn pocket to the right of the through transit lane reduces bus and streetcar delays. Read More
Dropped Transit Lane On some narrow transit streets, mixed traffic is expected to use the transit lane both for right turns and to occasionally divert around vehicles waiting to turn left. Dropping the transit lane approaching an intersection can clarify which movements are Read More
Queue Jump Lanes Queue jump lanes combine short dedicated transit facilities with either a leading bus interval or active signal priority to allow buses to easily enter traffic flow in a priority position. Queue jumps can reduce delay considerably, resulting in run-time savings Read More
Transit Approach Lane/Short Transit Lane Short transit lanes on the approach to major intersections, sometimes paired with active signal priority, allow transit vehicles to bypass long queues that form at major cross streets. Read More
Virtual Transit Lane Virtual right-turn lanes permit right turns only when a transit vehicle is not present. When a transit vehicle approaches, right turns are prohibited. Transit signals are triggered to allow transit vehicles to pass through the intersection. Read More
Bicycle Rail Crossings With or without bike lanes, streetcar and light rail streets attract bicycle traffic. Making these streets safe for people using bikes is critical for preserving local destination access, and is often important for bike network connectivity. Read More
