This initiative is intended to “reward” people who share vehicles or who use public transport, since at times of traffic delays or slowdowns they will be able to access this fast lane. The system consists of creating an area of red and green lights that will only allow certain vehicles to enter the lane at times of retention.
Therefore, when traffic flows normally, the lights will remain green allowing regular use of the lane, while in times of traffic jam it will be restricted by lighting it red so that only the aforementioned vehicles can access.
The TF-1 rehabilitation project has a budget of 12,180 euros and an execution period of one month. The implementation of this project will contribute to making Tenerife go from having 3.2 kilometers of Bus-HOV lane to almost 30.
