Abstract:
Barrier separated high-occupancy vehicle lanes, or transitways, have been found to be an effective way to reduce peak period congestion by providing priority treatment for high-occupancy vehicles. The Texas Transportation Institute performed a study to identify the user information needs of this type of facility, and how those needs could best be met. Driver expectancy requires that motorist information for a transitway be provided in the same manner used on other types of roadways. The results of this study indicate that the unique characteristic of transitways require special treatment in order to meet these motorist information needs.
