This document provides guidance on implementing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes in the Dallas area. The researchers evaluated the effectiveness of existing HOV lanes in four corridors and compared barrier-separated and buffer-separated lanes. Specific guidelines were not proposed due to unique corridor characteristics. The document discusses a stepwise process for implementing HOV lanes, agencies involved, design considerations, hours of operation, and enforcement techniques.
