Narrowing lanes (Figure 1) or removing a lane (Figure 2) opens up space for other uses, including: Center two-way left-turn lanes (TWLTL), Alternate modes of transportation (e.g., bicycle lanes, transit lanes, and bus turnouts), On-street parking, Physical safety barriers (e.g., raised medians, pedestrian refuge islands, and curb extensions), Wider shoulders. |
