I've been looking for a total of the shared lane miles on the Purple Line & haven't found any, but my measurements have it at about 3.5 miles (out of 16 total miles), or about 21% of the full route. Can @PurpleLineMD or anyone else verify those numbers?
While ~7 years have passed between these images, construction was not occurring most of the time in between due to Governor Hogan’s mismanagement of the project’s contractors.
This section of the line east of Silver Spring is shared roadway traffic with signal preemption.
