A Transit Lane is a designated lane on a roadway specifically reserved for certain types of vehicles, such as buses, carpools, or emergency vehicles. The purpose of these lanes is to improve the efficiency of public transportation and reduce traffic congestion. By allowing only specific vehicles to use these lanes, cities aim to encourage carpooling and public transit use. Transit lanes are often marked with signs and road markings to indicate their purpose and restrictions. They can be found in urban areas where traffic is heavy, and they help facilitate quicker travel for eligible vehicles, ultimately benefiting the overall flow of traffic in the area.
