Because of the nature of the traffic using arterial corridors and the complexities of adjacent land uses, most high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) priority techniques impose restrictions on general traffic to such a degree that their implementation has met with limited success. In Pensacola, Florida, an arterial corridor was studied to determine the feasibility of impolementing HOV priority techniques. The decisions made as to data collection, data analyses, alternative selection, and the elimination of parts of the corridor from further consideration will be of general interest to others considering implementing similar projects. The final result of the study was a recommendation to implement HOV priority along parts of the corridor in combination with a lane-control system. This system permits the implementation of a HOV priority system without loss of access to the corridor and has the advantage of maintaining left-turn movements off the corridor. /Author/
