Santa Cruz County is introducing bus-on-shoulder lanes on Highway 1 to alleviate traffic congestion for both drivers and public transport users. The bright red sections, marked with 'Metro MST Bus Only,' aim to streamline vehicular movement by allowing buses to use the shoulder in specific areas. These lanes will work in conjunction with auxiliary lanes, and the system is set to be fully operational by late next year. The ongoing reconstruction of the Capitola Avenue overcrossing will also enhance accessibility with improved sidewalks and bike lanes.
The new bus-on-shoulder lanes in Santa Cruz aims to enhance efficiency for public transportation, allowing buses to maneuver through congested highway traffic more effectively.
Local transportation officials emphasize that the new system of bus-on-shoulder lanes is unique in California, underscoring its innovative approach to traffic management.
