How do Ramp Management Strategies Promote Transit and Carpooling?
Special use ramp management strategies such as High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV). bypass lanes and exclusive HOV ramps provide travel time incentives to multi-occupant vehicles. HOV bypass lanes on metered on-ramps allow multi-occupant vehicles to bypass vehicles queued at the meter when entering freeway. Exclusive HOV ramps, on the other hand, provide vehicles with quick access to and from freeways, allowing these vehicles to avoid congestion on arterials and freeways.
