What is the Meaning of a Bay-style Bus Stop Marking?

[LauraLynn]

Bay-style bus stop markings indicate the separation lanes and parking positions for public trams and buses (long-distance coaches). Below is an introduction to the functions of bay-style bus stops and their differences from direct-style bus stops: Functions of Bay-style Bus Stops: They are designed to ensure smooth traffic flow (or mixed motor and non-motorized traffic flow) and pedestrian safety during bus parking. Differences Between Bay-style and Direct-style Bus Stops: Direct-style stops involve parking directly within the road lane, occupying the traffic lane during stops, commonly used on urban arterial roads, sub-arterial roads, and branch roads with dedicated bus lanes. Bay-style stops are typically used on urban arterial roads without dedicated bus lanes, main roads with bidirectional four-lane configurations, and some secondary roads with high traffic volume.
