More red bus lanes coming to downtown

The title says it all:

These are not new bus lanes, merely bolder marking of existing ones. While some bus lane violations are brazen disobedience of the rules that allow downtown to function, some of it is legitimate confusion at the thicket of traffic rules in complicated environments like downtown.

Paint makes it much clearer to drivers that they shouldn't be there, so this move should help with compliance. The work should be done this week.

As always, you can always make comments about this and other parts of SDOT's extremely successful spot improvements program by emailing Jonathan Dong or Alex Phillips-White.
