Title: Identification and Selection of Managed Lane Strategies on Arterials
Abstract: Although managed lanes have been widely deployed along limited-access facilities to mitigate congestion or improve mobility, they are seldom deployed in arterials. In this study, the authors identify the types of managed lanes and their variants that have potential for managing traffic along arterials. The authors' investigation suggests that high-occupancy vehicle, high-occupancy/toll, express- toll, and bus-only lanes are more suitable for implementation on arterials than others such as truck-only lane. Further, details concerning their designs and implementations are discussed along with traffic management schemes such as intersection treatment, segment management, and automatic enforcement. Lastly, a flow chart is provided for determining an appropriate managed lane strategy, including types, designs and methods of implementation, and traffic management schemes, for implementation.
