:
An Identifier that a Managed Access Lane, such as a High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV), High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lane or a Bus-Only Lane is present.
:
MAL (Managed Access Lanes) – This value indicates whether or not a managed access lane,
such as a High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV), High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lane or a Bus-Only lane
is present. Time-dependent managed access lanes that operate as through lanes or HOV/Bus
lanes based on the time of day are considered managed access lanes. Reversible lanes are
generally considered managed access lanes. Managed access lane starting and ending points
should be measured at the physical barrier at the entrance and exit, the beginning/ending of the
lane striping that distinguishes a permanent managed access lane from the primary or
secondary through lanes, or at the point where a developed managed access lane achieves its
full width.
Types:
0 = Section does not have MAL lanes.
1 = Section has exclusive MAL lanes (HOV use only; no other uses permitted).
2 = Normal through lane(s) used for exclusive HOV in specified time periods.
3 = Shoulder/parking lane(s) used for exclusive HOV in specified time periods.
