Posted by R30A on Thu Mar 10 15:41:35 2016, in response to Re: Summary and Video of November 2015 SBS meeting in Woodhaven, posted by BrooklynBus on Thu Mar 10 15:30:20 2016. If an exclusive bus lane does not increase bus speed during the off-peak, then there is no reason to install one."Cars and buses are traveling at the speed limit during the off-peak. There is no excess capacity because traffic is moderate not light. Fewer lanes would make the traffic heavier and slower." Speed is not the sole purpose of a bus lane. "According to you, cutting the numbers of lanes in half would have no effect on traffic because off peak traffic is so light anyway. WHERE IS YOUR DATA TO SUPPORT THAT CONCLUSION. Any anecdotes perhaps? Any nonsense you spout is automatically true because Lincoln McMahon says its true." LOL. They are not cutting the effective number of lanes in half in any location, so I am not saying that. "For a dedicated right turn to exist under the proposal, you couldn't install a bus bulb which is proposed. So you are misunderstanding the proposal because you fail to understand simple arithmetic." Since there is no bus bulb there, it won't conflict with the right turn lane. |
