When cars need to make a right turn they first have to slow down. That means that a car going through also has to slow down behind him and possibly just miss the green signal. So it certainly does affect capacity when it is not a dedicated right turn lane.Just because you have two other supporters here DOES NOT MEAN IT HELPS A LOT MORE THAN IT HURTS. DOT and the MTA would have to prove that by sharing the results of it Transportation Planning Model. THEY HAVEN'T DONE THAT. So we have ZERO data that shows more are helped than hurt when considering those who are not in buses. And judging from the fact that bus riders are in the extreme minority, one bus rider would have to save more time than six or so drivers and passengers would lose. That is just not likely especially when you consider that the exclusive lanes will save bus riders time only for a few hours a day and cars will lose time for most of the day. |
