Transportation Access Management Guidelines for the City of Tucson Major roadway projects should include bus pullouts at high activity bus stops when warranted by peak hour traffic, peak hour bus frequency, passenger safety concerns, and when adequate right-of-way is available. Bus pullouts should be located on the far side of intersections in order to utilize signal protection for re-entry into the stream of traffic. Consideration should be given to far-side open bus bays, coupled with a permitted through movement for buses in the right-turn lane at the intersection. This bus bay design enables transit vehicles to by-pass traffic queues at intersections thus assisting in on-time performance and providing additional passenger convenience. Bus pullouts should be carefully planned and designed to minimize transit vehicle delay in re-entering the stream of traffic. Bus pullouts should include shelters and other passenger amenities to provide for customer safety and convenience. For the design of a bus bay, it is recommended that a minimum 6:1 bay taper be used to provide a twelve-foot minimum width bus bay. The bus bays should provide for 95-feet of storage length, unless it is a layover location, and if necessary a 4:1 exit taper. Figure 5-4 provides the bus bay details for two types of design. Page 29
