What is the Difference Between a Bay-type Bus Stop and an Emergency Parking Strip?

[McJudah]

1. Different Definitions: A bay-type bus stop refers to a public transport stop that partially widens the road surface on the outer side of the traffic lane. An emergency parking strip, on the other hand, is the outermost lane on a highway, designated for vehicles to stop in case of emergencies. 2. Different Uses: The emergency parking strip is intended for vehicles experiencing minor issues, allowing for short-term repairs. If a major issue occurs that cannot be fixed quickly, the vehicle should be towed to a repair shop by a rescue vehicle. The bay-type bus stop, inspired by the model of ships docking at harbors, features each stop platform curving inward toward the slow lane. The primary advantage of this design is that buses can stop without obstructing the straight movement of other vehicles, thereby minimizing the impact of bus stops on main road traffic.
