„Bus priority or transit signal priority is a name for various techniques to speed up bus public transport services at intersections (or junctions) with traffic signals. Buses normally signal their impending arrival (for example via radio systems) and on their arrival at the intersection receive green lights. This is often combined with separate bus lanes ,though possibly this may only apply at the intersections themselves.”
Bus priority and lanes at the intersections themselves are mostly combined with at least a short bus lane before the intersection. It does not make much sense, if a signal switches to a green letter "B" for buses, which are blocked by cars in front of them in the same lane.
What about something like “This is often combined with separate bus lanes at least at the intersections themselves as long as red signal tailbacks sometimes are.”? Breue (talk) 23:03, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
