Preferential and Managed Lane Signs and General Information Signs
2009 Edition Page 253 CHAPTER 2G. PREFERENTIAL AND MANAGED LANE SIGNS Section 2G.01 Scope Support: 01 Preferential lanes are lanes designated for special traffic uses such as high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs), light rail, buses, taxis, or bicycles. Preferential lane treatments might be as simple as restricting a turning lane to a certain class of vehicles during peak periods, or as sophisticated as providing a separate roadway system within a highway corridor for certain vehicles. 02 Preferential lanes might be barrier-separated (on a separate alignment or physically separated from the other travel lanes by a barrier or median), buffer-separated (separated from the adjacent general-purpose lanes only by a narrow buffer area created with longitudinal pavement markings), or contiguous (separated from the adjacent general-purpose lanes only by a lane line). Preferential lanes might allow continuous access with the adjacent general-purpose lanes or restrict access only to designated locations. Preferential lanes might be operated in a constant direction or operated as reversible lanes. Some reversible preferential lanes on a divided highway might be operated counter-flow to the direction of traffic on the immediately adjacent general-purpose lanes. 03 Preferential lanes might be operated on a 24-hour basis, for extended periods of the day, during peak travel periods only, during special events, or during other activities. 04 Open-road tolling lanes and toll plaza lanes that segregate traffic based on payment method are not considered preferential lanes. Chapter 2F contains information regarding signing of open-road tolling lanes and toll plaza lanes. 05 Managed lanes typically restrict access with the adjacent general-purpose lanes to designated locations only. -

Mr. Gupta Detailed the Current Status of India's Road Network and Its
Mr. Gupta detailed the current status of India’s road network and its maintenance: “The total length of the road network in India is 4.69 million km. It is the second largest road network in the world, just after the United States. ….. The national highways constitute 82,000 kilometers, 1.7 percent of the total length, and carry 40 percent of the total traffic.” “65 percent of total traffic and 90 percent of passenger traffic are being serviced by roads. The corresponding figures in the 1950s were 12 percent and 31.6 percent. The compounded annual growth rate of traffic on roads during the last two decades has been 9 percent. Road maintenance, however, is not commensurate with the traffic growth rate.” “The Indian Constitution assigns responsibility for the national highway network to the central government while State governments are responsible for developing and maintaining the state highways, major district roads, other district roads, and village roads. ….. The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways is the apex organization in the road sector in the country responsible for the planning, development, and maintenance of the national highways. It extends technical and financial support to state governments for the development of state roads, the connectivity of roads of interest and economic importance; it evolves the standards and specifications for roads and bridges in the country.” “Several road development programs are being implemented in the country. The first, the National Highway Development Program, is one of the world's largest road development programs. It comprises seven phases of development of more than 55,000 km of national highways; of which 21,000 km of road length has already been completed.” “Another is the Rural Road Development Program fully funded by the central government to supplement the efforts of the state governments in the construction and maintenance of the rural road network. -

South Gloucestershire Council Public Consultation Cycling City Route
South Gloucestershire Council Public Consultation Cycling City Route Number 7 – Ring Road Path Background In June 2008 South Gloucestershire Council, jointly with Bristol City Council, were chosen as Britain’s first Cycling City. Government funding totalling £11.4 million has been awarded to the area to transform cycling infrastructure and to pioneer innovative ways of making cycling a real transport option for more residents. This funding will be matched by Bristol and South Gloucestershire councils and their partners creating a total scheme value of £22.8 million. The aim of the Cycling City project is to double the number of cyclists in the Greater Bristol area. To do this we need to promote and encourage cycling through better infrastructure, training and promotion. The Cycling City project will implement safe, continuous, attractive, comfortable and coherent routes across the project area. This route has been designed with the help of the South Gloucestershire cycle forum. The forum is a group of regular cyclists who have worked with engineers to ensure the proposed route is suitable and to overcome current problems on the route. Route Cycling City Route 7 will run predominantly along the A4174 Ring Road off-road cycle path from the Dramway Roundabout (junction with B4465 Shortwood Hill), to the Bristol City Council boundary in the vicinity of Southmead Hospital (i.e. Kenmore Drive). Although the westernmost section of the route is located away from the Ring Road corridor, continuous direction signing as far as Southmead Hospital will be provided as part of the Cycling City route signing proposals. This route will provide a total length of approximately 10km of predominantly off-carriageway cycle facilities.
