Intersection Treatments
6 points maximum
There are several ways to increase bus
speeds at intersections, all of which are
aimed at increasing the green signal time
for the bus lane. Forbidding turns across
the bus lane and minimizing the number of
traffic-signal phases where possible are the
most important. Traffic-signal priority when
activated by an approaching BRT vehicle is
useful in lower-frequency systems.
