The Harbor Freeway Transitway, or Harbor Transitway, is a BRT line that runs from Downtown Los Angeles to Los Angeles South Bay Area that runs through the carpool lanes of Interstate 110 with stations in the median. This article is about the largest city in California. ...
Freeway entrances and exits are limited in number, and are designed with special onramps and offramps, so as to ensure that vehicles do not disrupt the main flow of traffic as they enter or leave the freeway.
Another common problem with freeways is that it is nearly impossible to avoid wrong-way drivers, and the subsequent head-on collisions are often fatal.
In the rest of the country, freeway is the usual term; however, the distinction between freeways and expressways is not always as clear or well-understood as it is in California, which has many of both kinds of highway.
Caltrans built the freeway stations as a key component of the $500-million HarborTransitway, which was mostly completed in 1996.
In addition to building the bus stations, the project widened the HarborFreeway and added carpool and bus lanes that use a three-mile stretch of elevated roadway south of downtown.
By contrast, the HarborTransitway ends roughly a mile from downtown, requiring buses to complete the trip on city streets and costing riders valuable time.
