Bus turnout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (197 words) |
 | A bus turnout, bus pullout, bus bay, bus lay-by (UK), or off-line bus stop is a special zone on the side of the main roadway (or bus/tram lane) for primarily buses to stop for a designated bus stop in order to pick up and drop off passengers. |
| The purpose of the bus turnout is avoid blocking a lane of traffic and to improve passenger safety during boarding and deboarding. |
| Bus turnouts are most often lacking in cities with little or no usuable right-of-way for their construction. |
