In May of 2001, 16 miles of high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane opened on the re-constructed Interstate 15 (I-15). The HOV lanes operate between 600 North and 10600 South in the Salt Lake Valley. A single northbound HOV lane and a single southbound HOV lane are separated from the four general-purpose freeway lanes in both directions by striping that allows HOV lane entrance and exit. The HOV lanes operate twenty-four hours a day and allow vehicles with two or more occupants, motorcycles, and transit vehicles. The only HOV-specific access to an arterial is located at 400 South and allows HOV-only direct access to the I-15 southbound onramp and the I-15 northbound off-ramp. This paper reports on a two-year study evaluating HOV lane performance. The analysis assesses the freeway operations before the HOV lanes opened with continued assessment throughout the first year of operation. It looks at automatic data from traffic monitoring stations and manual data from roadside and travel time surveys.
