This report contains the results of an investigation of the design and operation of shared bicycle/bus lanes in municipalities in the United States and other countries. A shared bicycle/bus lane (SBBL) is a traffic lane dedicated for exclusive use by buses, bicyclists, and, usually, right-turning vehicles. SBBLs have been implemented in municipalities where there are street right-of-way constraints and where municipalities seek ways to accommodate buses and bicycles for better multimodal service. There were three objectives of this study, conducted for the Florida Department of Transportation:
1. Identify and describe the state of the art and practice in the design, implementation, operation, and use
of SBBLs
2. Evaluate the benefits and barriers to implementing SBBLs
3. Develop recommendations for Florida to consider the use of SBBLs on the State Highway System.
