  3. Managed Lanes What are Managed Lanes • TxDOT defines a managed lane facility as one that increases freeway efficiency by packaging various operational and design actions. • Generally a “freeway within a freeway” where a set of lanes within the freeway cross section is physically separated from general-purpose lanes

  4. Express Lanes What are they? Objectives Relieve Congestion Optimize Use of Capacity Improve Operating Speeds Provide Incentive for Modal Shift Offer a Reliable Alternative • Physically Separated Toll lanes with Controlled Points of Access • Utilize Fixed, Variable or Traffic Responsive Tolls to Manage Demand • Also Known as Value-Priced Lanes

  5. HOT Lanes HOT lanes are limited-access, normally barrier separated highway lanes that provide free or reduced cost access to qualifying HOVs, and sell additional capacity to other vehicles which do not meet passenger occupancy requirements.

I-595 Express • Will provide 3 reversible express lanes within the median • Eastbound in the AM peak period • Westbound in the PM peak period • Access from west of 136 Ave, east of SR 7 and direct connect from Florida’s Turnpike • Will utilize a variable tolling strategy • Operated and maintained by 595 Express

  12. I-75 Express • 4-lane tolled managed lanes facility in the I-75 median • Express lanes direct connections to I-595, Florida’s Turnpike (HEFT), and the Palmetto Expressway • Intermediate express lanes ingress/egress locations at Royal Palm Blvd., Griffin Rd., Sheridan St., Miramar Pkwy., Miami Gardens Dr. and NW 154th St.

  13. I-75 Tolling Strategy

  14. I-75 Tolling Strategy Example: Signing and tolls for to a motorist traveling from SR 836 to I-595 via SR 826 and I-75 South of MGD: Prior to entry: Total Tolls: $9.00 (SR 836 to MGD) + $7.00 (MGD to I-595) = $16.00
