Street Safety Tips

• Vehicles are adhering to new traffic rules—use extra caution as they learn the new road patterns
• Be aware that emergency vehicles also use bus-only lanes
• Use the new pedestrian safety islands if you need a place to rest while crossing the street
• Take note of the new bike lanes and bike in designated lanes when possible; do not bike in bus-only lanes
• Review the motorist safety guide to familiarize yourself with new traffic patterns and signals

Station Safety Tips 

• Use designated crosswalks, pedestrian walk signals, and sloped sidewalks to access Tempo stations
• Avoid standing close to the edge of the station platform
• Always stand behind the yellow warning strip
• Tempo Line 1T features state-of-the-art safety systems like cameras at stations and on the buses
• Please don’t skateboard, skate, scooter, or bike at the station
• If you’re riding Tempo Line 1T with your bike, check out our bike tips

• Stay in your lane: bus-only lanes are exclusively for buses and emergency vehicles and there is no physical barrier between the bus-only lane and multi-use traffic lanes
• Tempo buses use special bus-only signals; use extra caution and only proceed when you have a green light
• Share the road: be alert and watch for pedestrian crosswalks and bike lanes and don’t cut in front of buses, cyclists, or pedestrians
• Take note of new traffic signals and signs, new left turn movements, and newly protected U-turns—make left turns and U-turns in designated areas
• As always, park in designated parking areas; tickets will be issued to vehicles driving or parked in bus-only lanes and vehicles are subject to towing
