6.0 Summary of Recommendations

6.2.5 Toll Plaza Branch and Satellite Plazas

Guideline Toll Plaza Branch and Satellite Plazas Guideline 1
Title Use of Branch and Satellite Plazas
Text New toll plaza design should not include branch lanes and satellite plazas. Existing plazas containing these lanes should develop a plan for removal of these lanes by transitioning to ETC dedicated lanes that eventually provide throughput capacity equivalent to the satellite plaza capacity.
Commentary

As ETC participation grows after implementation, the overall plaza capacity increases and eliminates the need for branch and satellite plaza lanes.
