Turn Radii At intersections, geometric decisions must balance efficient accommodation of transit turns with pedestrian safety. Curb radii should be designed as tightly as possibly to reduce pedestrian crossing distance without adversely affecting transit operations. Read More
Recessed Stop Line Buses may face challenging turning geometries when routed through small intersections, especially when transit service is operated in the curbside lane. Pulling the stop bar back from the intersection allows large transit vehicles to use two lanes around tight curb Read More
Transit-Only Turns Bus- or streetcar-only turn restrictions provide the safety and operational benefits of general motor vehicle turn prohibitions while permitting a critical bus movement. Read More
Dedicated Turn Channel Unlike slip lanes, a dedicated turn channel is designed specifically for transit vehicles, and can be designated exclusively for their use, preventing excessive vehicle speeds. Read More
