traffic, reduce the lane capacity, and add to the congestion of the roadway. At transfer locations, the frequency and length of delay experienced will be greater due to the larger number of passengers serviced. Bus turn -out areas were therefore recummended to entrance the flow of traffic: by remU --V g' stopped buses from the through lane of travel. Far-side bus turn -outs are therefore recommended at the following locations: Warner Ave. - northbound and southbound Edinger Ave. - northbound and southbound McFadden Ave. - northbound and southbound First St. - northbound Santa Ana Boulevard - southbound In its definition of a major arterial highway the Orange County Master Plan allows for a right -of -way width of 100 -feet in developed areas where a 120 -foot right -of -way is not feasible due to existing structures or topography. Six through lanes of traffic with a raised center median could be provided through the prohibition of on -street parking. Lane widths which could be provided on the 84 -foot wide roadway would be adequate for circulation. However, wider lanes are desired on roads that are established truck routes and substantial amounts of additional rigbt -of -way would still be required at major intersections to provide dual left turn lanes and adequate transition lengths in the roadway alignment. 'Proposed lane geometrics at the Bristol Street /First Street intersection would v require a minimum curb -to -curb width of 103 feet. Left -turn and right -turn lane storage requirements as well as transition lengths result in additional right -of -way being required over a total distance of 840 feet along Bristol Street. The 84 -foot wide roadway therefore requires an additional 19 feet of right -of -way for a distance of 610 feet and an additional 10 feet of right -of -way for a distance of 230 feet. Similar lane geometrics at the Bristol Street /17th Street intersection require an additional 19 feet of right -of -way for a distance of 640 feet and an additional 10 feet of right -of -way for a distance of 200 feet. Right -of -way requirements at the Bristol Street /Memory Lane intersection are similar in either the 84 -foot or 100 -foot typical roadway widths. Proposed lane geometrics require 14 feet of additional right -of -way from the west side of Bristol Street. The proposed lane geometrics at the intersection of Bristol Street and Warner Avenue would also require additional right -of -way. The 94 -foot curb -to -curb IV -73 75C -208
