<strong>The</strong> <strong>CHRONOBUS</strong> <strong>concept</strong><br />

To achieve the desired level of performance, the proposed developments on the<br />

Chronobus lines are made on areas where there is a risk of irregularities or faults:<br />

Positioning and accessibility of stops (stations and terminals),<br />

Bus lanes development (32 km / 68 km of 7 first Chronobus lines)<br />

Road enlargements allowing a smooth flow of the Chronobus. Occasionally, this may<br />

cause:<br />

- Transformation of angle parking into parallel parking<br />

- Removal of parking spaces.<br />

Prioritizing Chronobus at intersections (moved onto radio system)<br />

Establishment of temporary "locks" for traffic calming,<br />

Development of squares and roundabouts,<br />

<strong>The</strong>se developments systematically include the issue of soft modes (bicycles and<br />

pedestrians) and accompany behaviour changes toward a limited use of private cars in<br />

contributing to a lessening of flows and speeds on the retreated roads.<br />
