The Impact on Traffic Safety in Bus Stop

3.6.
  Bus stops setting along outside bus lane 
Buses has specialized road right of bus lane on the road with bus lane which 
separates non-motor vehicles and motor vehicles effectively. Non-motor 
vehicles, motor vehicle and buses would influence each other, whether bus is 
stopping or driving. There is no conflict among them. However, the conflict 
between passengers and non-motor vehicle is inevitably. Buses are stopping on 
bus lane while the stop is set on sidewalk, it exists affirming conflict between 
passengers and non-motor vehicles when the passengers must occupy the 
non-motor vehicle lane to reach or leave the station. In analogy to the conflict 
between passengers and non-motor vehicles occurring around stops set along the 
isolation area, the kind of stop has similar conflict problem. Moreover, 
non-motor vehicles pose a greater threat to passengers because of no station 
transition when passengers getting off the bus. As shown in Fig. 11.

  Bus stops setting along inside bus lanes 
The stop also solves the problem of conflict between motor vehicles, non-motor 
vehicles and buses compared with the bus stops setting along outside bus lane. 
However, only the lane on both sides of the central isolation belt set can 
passengers use to arrive at or leave the stop corresponding the station set in the 
central isolation belt, which causes serious conflicts between passengers and 
motor vehicles compared to other stops. It must take measures to separate 
passengers and motor vehicles.
