Suburban ExpresswaysThe Quickway Proposal anticipates theconversion of major portions of El CaminoReal and Palomar Airport Road into true,grade-separated expressways with buswaysbuilt into the median.In this illustration, a typical grade separationis illustrated. The main roadway drops belowthe cross street. A BRT vehicle is stopped atthe station, which is connected by ramps tothe crosswalk.AUTOSBUS LANESTATIONBUSLEGENDThe Quickway Proposal, 2014 by The Mission Group pt. 8: North County 11 12. Suburban ExpresswaysIn this illustration, the main roadway fliesover the cross street. The transit station isreached from the ground (lower level) byeither the ramp (left side) or elevator (blackbox on right).Grade separation of the main roadways cansignificantly increase carrying capacity, cuttravel times radically, and support a morecost-effective, efficient, and attractive transitservice.The Quickway Proposal, 2014 by The Mission Group pt. 8: North County 12 13.
