• Allows right turning autos to clear the left turn lane, reducing the delay buses experience due to heavy traffic.
• Transit bulbs reduce delays by eliminating the need for buses to merge in and out of traffic at transit stops.
• Would save time and help make Muni service more reliable.
• Bulbs make it easier for everyone to get on and off the bus by letting the steps line right up with the curb.
• Fewer stops along the route means Muni can travel the same distance in less time. • The nearest stops to this location would be Stanyan or Clayton. • The average distance between stops would increase from 770 feet to 1320 feet.

at Shrader St and at Clayton St • Reduces the amount of stops the bus makes along its route and makes it possible to introduce transit signal priority (TSP) at intersections.
at Shrader St, Cole St, Belvedere St and Clayton St • Improves pedestrian safety by reducing the crossing distance at intersections.
at Clayton St proposed location
• TSP keeps the light green for Muni as it approaches an intersection, saving time.
• Calms traffic by narrowing lane widths at the intersection, which causes drivers to slow down.
• Places the bus stop on the other side of the intersection, so that Muni can get through the intersection prior to loading and unloading passengers. • Saves time and makes Muni more reliable.

New Transit Only Signal
at Buchanan St (eastbound) • A bus-only signal gives Muni a green light before the rest of traffic, allowing Muni to bypass a line of cars waiting at the light instead of waiting for room to merge into traffic. • Enables bus to reach transit only lane in center from the curbside stop at Buchanan. • Would save time and improve reliability.
