Revised Manual for Planning, Designing and Operating Transitway Facilities in Texas

摘要

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). The revised manual is divided into two parts: (1) Transitway mainlanes and connections; and (2) Transitway support facilities. Each of these parts 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.
