Sharing the Road with Transit Buses
Knowing how to share the road properly with transit buses is important. Knowing some of the rules regarding transit buses can also save you from an expensive fine.
Diamond or reserved lanes are reserved for any of the vehicles pictured on the sign.
It could include buses or bicycles. Unless times are listed on the sign, these reserved lanes are in effect full time. A car traveling in a reserved lane must turn right at the next intersection. You may not travel through an intersection at a time when a diamond lane is in effect.
Another device designed to help transit buses get through traffic is a Transit Priority Signal. These allow buses a head start at a green light so the bus can get through the intersection and into the proper lane.
In addition, with a little common courtesy we can help transit buses get through heavy traffic and stay on schedule.
