Talk:Bus priority signal

Can the last sentence of this section be improved?

„Bus priority or transit signal priority is a name for various techniques to speed up bus public transport services at intersections (or junctions) with traffic signals. Buses normally signal their impending arrival (for example via radio systems) and on their arrival at the intersection receive green lights. This is often combined with separate bus lanes ,though possibly this may only apply at the intersections themselves.”

Bus priority and lanes at the intersections themselves are mostly combined with at least a short bus lane before the intersection. It does not make much sense, if a signal switches to a green letter "B" for buses, which are blocked by cars in front of them in the same lane.

What about something like “This is often combined with separate bus lanes at least at the intersections themselves as long as red signal tailbacks sometimes are.”? Breue (talk) 23:03, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bus Signals

I don't know which country uses bus signals that show the letter "B". What I know is that Germany uses something different which I will explain in the article. However, someone else will need to add which country uses the letter B for bus signals. -- Dynam1te3 (talk) 23:18, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed that this is explained in detail in Traffic light. This means that the two articles overlap in scope. -- Dynam1te3 (talk) 23:22, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redundancy

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was no consensus. I'm closing this as stale; two years after the last post here, an editor deleted the relevant section in Bus priority, and in the year that's since passed no one has opposed that resolution of the issue.

Bus signals are covered by Bus priority#Signals as well as by Traffic light#Lights for public transport. The section in Bus priority is just two sentences, so we could just drop the section in Bus priority to get rid of the redundancy. However, we need to decide where bus signals should be covered. Should that be in Bus priority, in Traffic light or in a new article? I'm in favor of a new article. -- Dynam1te3 (talk) 23:51, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Traffic light. It's silly to have a separate article for this topic. It would make more sense to have an article for lights for public transport as a whole. Since the whole article is unsourced, I will leave it alone rather than take a flogging over at Traffic light for dumping in a pile of unsourced stuff. -- ke4roh (talk) 20:30, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
