Reversible Managed Lanes Coupled with Time Managed Shoulder Lanes
Reversible Managed Lanes coupled with Time Managed Shoulder Lanes incorporate two concepts into one to create a flexible driving environment that results in increased capacity and reliability for motorists, HOV vehicles, and BRT transit vehicles. It couples the use of reversible flow lanes and utilization of shoulders for additional roadway capacity that can be used in times of high traffic volumes or during times with traffic incidents. The use of this concept will provide an additional 25% of (total) roadway capacity on the same roadway width.
