Abstract

A queue jumper lane can provide significant travel time savings to buses because the bus can by-pass traffic queued at congested intersections. Field data showed that buses saved an average 6.5 seconds at a high-volume intersection. Computer simulation demonstrated that the queue jumper lane provided notable travel time savings and speed advantages when traffic volumes exceeded 250 vehicles per hour per lane (vphpl). The advantages in average bus speed when a queue jumper lane was present ranged from approximately 5 km/h to 15 km/h (for traffic volumes below 1000 vphpl). (A)
