Evaluation of Journey Time and Emissions of PTWs in Bus Lanes
Transport for London research into the impact of allowing PTW access to bus lanes [1]
Precis
Research conducted by TfL showing the positive benefits of allowing motorcycle access to bus lanes. The report concludes the following benefits to allowing PTW access to bus lanes:
• PTW journey time savings of approximately 10.5% when comparing PTWs in bus lanes with PTWs in general traffic lanes;
• Reductions in PTW Carbon Dioxide emissions;
• Reductions in PTW Oxides of Nitrogen emissions;
• Reductions in all other PTW emissions including Carbon Monoxide, Total Hydrocarbons and Benzene; and
• Lower PTW fuel consumption.
