What is a dedicated bus lane or dedicated lane?

It is a lane that is only dedicated to buses and which also benefits from priority at intersections. This principle allows for a smooth and fast circulation of buses, which gain in regularity by freeing themselves from the hazards of traffic (traffic jams, red lights, etc.).

As part of the project, nearly 3 kilometres of lanes dedicated to buses will be created in the Ecole Polytechnique district. As far as possible, the lanes dedicated to buses will be laid out side by side on the road, in both directions of traffic and in the continuity of the first 2 sections of line 91.06. When this insertion is not possible, 2 alternative integration provisions will be studied:

• An interior lateral insertion where the dedicated bus lanes are located next to the car lanes, on the campus side, and promotes the desertion of the Ecole Polytechnique's laboratories. This insertion allows safe access for pedestrians.
• An external lateral insertion where the dedicated bus lanes are located next to the car lanes, on the wood side, and promotes the desertion of the high school and schools. This insertion allows for better regularity of the buses since their circulation will not be interrupted by access by other road users.
