Transit Facility Design Standards <br />Turning Radius <br />2) Figure 7 shows a minimum turning radius for <br />buses in the Lane Transit District fleet. It is <br />anticipated that future buses will meet this <br />standard, even if they are the longer (60 foot) <br />articulated buses. LTD buses need a minimum <br />effective turning radius of 25 feet.
