Mission Street carries nearly 67,000 transit riders each day. As part of Muni Forward, SFMTA is proposing transit priority and pedestrian safety improvements along the route that will make it safer to walk, increase the reliability of service, and enhance the customer experience on and off the bus.
WITH YOUR SUPPORT, WE’RE MOVING MUNI FORWARD.
For general information 24/7/365, dial 311 (415.701.2311 outside SF).

14 MISSIONSAFER STREETS, WIDER SIDEWALKS, RELIABLE SERVICE
PROJECT FEATURES SUMMARY
BY THE NUMBERS
Wider sidewalks that “bulb” out at bus stops allow buses to board passengers without having to pull out and then back into congested traffic. They also provide space for shelters, signage, and other amenities.
BENEFITS: Reliable Service; Rider Comfort; Sidewalk Space
San Francisco’s Vision Zero policy seeks to eliminate all traffic-related fatalities by 2024. Muni Forward will play a big part in this effort by enhancing pedestrian safety at intersections with engineering measures like sidewalk bulbouts, which increase visibility of people walking and shorten crossing distances.
BENEFITS: Safer Streets; Sidewalk Space
Removing stops along the route to ensure that buses are stopping every few blocks, instead of at every single block.
BENEFITS: Reliable Service
Dedicated transit lanes allow buses to bypass traffic, reducing delay and making for a smoother ride.

Establish Transit-Only Lanes. A transit-only lane is a travel lane that is dedicated for the exclusive use of transit vehicles. Transit-only lanes are typically identified with signs and pavement markings. Transit-only lanes can reduce transit travel times by allowing transit vehicles to bypass traffic congestion and avoid conflicts with other vehicles in mixed travel lanes. Non-transit vehicles are generally permitted to enter transit-only lanes to access curbside parking or to complete a turn, unless specifically prohibited. Emergency vehicles may use transit-only lanes at all times, and often taxis may also use these lanes. Transit-only lanes can be created by removing an existing travel lane or by removing a parking lane.

Remove or Consolidate Transit Stops. Removing closely spaced transit stops can decrease transit travel times by reducing the frequency that transit vehicles must stop to pick up and drop off passengers. Consolidating transit stops involves removing two adjacent transit stops and establishing a new transit stop at an intermediate location. Removing or consolidating stops with existing transit zones may result in the availability of additional curb space that could be used for new on-street parking, bicycle parking, parklets, or parking restrictions at intersection approaches to improve pedestrian visibility and sight distance.

Install Pedestrian Bulbs. Pedestrian bulbs are sidewalk extensions at non-transit stop intersection corners that widen the sidewalk by a distance equal to or less than the width of the parking lane for the width of the crosswalk. Pedestrian bulbs at signalized intersections can reduce transit travel time by reducing the roadway crossing distance, which can provide flexibility in traffic signal timing and reduce the likelihood of transit vehicles arriving on a red signal indication. Pedestrian bulbs improve pedestrian safety by shortening the street crossing distance, improving pedestrian visibility, and reducing the speed of turning traffic.

Note: The above conceptual figure is not to scale and is for illustrative purposes only.
Install Transit Bulbs. Transit bulbs are sidewalk extensions at the location of a transit stop, typically about the same width as the adjoining parking lane. They can reduce transit travel times on bus routes by eliminating the need for buses to exit and re-enter the flow of traffic to access curbside transit stops and on rail lines by providing a place for boarding passengers to wait directly adjacent to a stopped light rail vehicle (LRV), thereby eliminating the time needed for passengers to walk from the curb across a parking lane to the LRV. Transit bulbs also provide added space for customer amenities such as shelters, improve pedestrian safety by shortening the street crossing distance, and reduce the speed of turning traffic, as well as reducing sidewalk crowding at transit stop locations.

OPTION BENEFIT IMPACT Typical Cross Section
A - SOUTHBOUND TRANSIT ONLY LANE
• Reduce transit travel times on bus routes by eliminating the need for buses to exit and re-enter the flow of traffic in the southbound direction
• Wider lanes can accommodate buses
• Parking retained on both sides of Mission Street
• Space for right-turn lanes at each intersection, allowing buses to proceed straight through the intersection with less traffic delay
• The northbound direction reduced to one lane, could be susceptible to traffic jams and less reliable Muni service
• Forced right turns for northbound car drivers could divert traffic to parallel streets
B - SOUTHBOUND AND NORTHBOUND TRANSIT ONLY LANE
• Reduce transit travel times on bus routes by eliminating the need for buses to exit and re-enter the flow of traffic, in the northbound AND southbound directions
• Wider lanes can accommodate buses safely
• Retains one general traffic lane in each direction
• Space for right-turn lanes at some intersections, allowing buses to proceed straight through the intersection with less traffic delay
• Cars would cross the transit-only lane to park, turn right, and access driveways, potentially blocking buses
• Less street space for right-turn pockets
• Parking removal on one side of the street
