Driving on Central Avenue
Watch: ART Driving Tips from KOAT
Driving on Central Avenue
ART runs in the middle of Central Avenue between Coors and Louisiana.
- Make left turns and U-Turns, only at traffic lights.
- BUS ONLY means Stay in Your Lane.
- Crossing double lines means fines.
- Only buses, emergency and ART maintenance vehicles are permitted in the ART lane.
HAWK Signals
High-intensity Activated crossWalK beacon (HAWK) is a traffic control device used to stop road traffic and allow pedestrians to cross safely.
These crosswalk lights are similar to regular stoplights:
- Yellow = Slow Down
- Red = Stop
If the crosswalk lights aren’t on, continue driving through.
Bus Signals
- Bus signals are mounted on traffic signals in front of the bus lanes.
- These signals are black and white and consist of a horizontal line, a triangle and a vertical line.
- These signals only direct transit vehicles. Drivers should ignore them.
