Dedicated Bus Lanes

An illustration showing how dedicated bus lanes work in two different scenarios.

PEDESTRIANS

  • Look for vehicles in all directions before crossing the street.
  • Cross the street where you have the best view of traffic. At
    bus stops, cross at the nearest crosswalk.

MOTORISTS

  • Look for and yield to buses when entering the bus lane.
  • Only enter bus lane when making right turn onto streets or
    driveways, or to parallel park. The bus lane cannot be used
    as a driving lane.
  • Utilize turn signal when entering or exiting bus and
    parking lanes.
  • After yielding to buses and pedestrians, fully enter bus lane
    before proceeding to make a right turn from bus lane.
  • Parallel parking is permitted in designated parking areas.

CYCLISTS

  • Cyclists are allowed to travel in the dedicated bus lane.
  • Be aware of approaching vehicles.
