22.1.5 Transit Accommodation

Design of the roadway section for transit vehicles includes areas beyond the pavement limits, such as adequate safety buffers between roadway and sidewalks, space for trees outside the clear zone behind curb to shade sidewalks, areas where bike sharing docks or microbility parking can be installed, space for shelter, information, and ticket vending, etc. It is important for roadway design engineers to coordinate with other urban design disciplines to avoid precluding current and future transit needs with incompatible geometry or roadway section. Transit design should also accommodate Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs).
