PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This guide provides a single, comprehensive reference of current
practice in the geometric design of transit facilities on streets
and highways. The facilities covered include:
•Local buses, express buses, and bus rapid transit
operating in mixed traffic, bus lanes, and highoccupancy vehicle
(HOV) lanes, and bus-only roads within street and freeway
environments; and
• Streetcars and LRT running in mixed traffic and transit lanes,
and within medians along arterial roadways.
These guidelines are based on a review of relevant AASHTO, TRB,
and ITE documents, and of design reports provided by various
transit agencies. They incorporate findings from targeted
investigations conducted specifically to fill voids in the
assembled information.
