Although designing the new home you've just built from house plans isn't all about the latest trends, it's good to have your finger on the pulse and to be aware of the design styles that are currently popular. You want to think about longevity when considering your home décor, but injecting elements of current interior trends throughout the floor plan will keep your rooms looking stylish and contemporary. Read on to discover five of the biggest interior design trends of 2016.
Handcrafted goods have seen a recent resurgence, especially with the popularity of macramé and ceramics. Consumers are becoming more aware of the negatives associated with mass-production, and subsequently more and more people have started to buy local artisan products. A romanticized folk element is evident across both design and point of sale, reminiscent of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Getting to know more about the person that has created the product that you are purchasing for your home plan is integral to the trend. Handmade products add a real sense of personality into your floor plan, whether you are crafting your own candles or wall hangings and pottery, or you've picked up a piece from a local general store, potter, or weaver.
Plants are literally everywhere this year, being placed on every available surface in the home in a variety of planters, terrariums, and macramé hangers. The current appreciation for Mid-Century design has resulted in an appreciation of 1970s styles, reaching across both fashion and house plan interiors. House plants that were popular in the '70s, such as cheese plants, spider plant, ferns, rubber plants, and mother-in-law's tongue have all reached a new found popularity, especially among young twenty-somethings. Keep your home floor plan looking modern by potting your plants in minimal ceramic or concrete pots and by seeking inspiration from Scandinavian design.
Note the plants on the tall storage unit, in front of the window, and on the dresser in this master bedroom. The home is a 1-story Craftsman-style Luxury house plan with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms (Home Plan #161-1049).
The must-have print of 2016, geometric designs can also be seen in silhouettes for those who are shy of pattern. Harking back to the days of Art Deco, albeit with a thoroughly contemporary edge, 2016's geometric prints echo the zigzags, chevrons, and symmetrical designs associated with the extravagant architectural style of the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. Opt for one or two bold prints in a room to nod toward the trend without it's becoming overpowering, with cushion covers, bed linens, and blankets being easy options. Alternatively, look to geometric-shaped vases, planters, and lamp shades to create a more subtle nod toward the trend.
Copper, brass, and bronze are having a bit of a moment in home plan interiors. Everything from candle holders to curtain rails, hardware to trimmings seems to be available in warm metallic tones, straying away from harsh and cold silver shades. High-shine gold metals are deemed too ostentatious, and the brushed patina of copper and brass is seen as a more down-to-earth way of injecting an element of luxury into your home floor plan. The decorative and opulent aesthetic associated with an abundance of metallic elements in your home nods toward Regency styles, where warm colors and metallics were prevalent. Keep things minimal for a more contemporary look.
This kitchen in a 5-bedroom, 4-1/2-bath Country-style Ranch house plan demonstrates the subtle use of metallics. The low-sheen patina of the brushed-nickel faucet set complements the brushed stainless steel of the appliances, and the low-lustre bronze hanging lights add to the muted elegance (Home Plan #163-1055).
The use of salvaged wood, raw concrete, and exposed brickwork in a house plan is integral to creating an industrial aesthetic in the home. Furniture crafted from old scaffolding planks and pallets has become de rigueur and is a common sight in the floor plans of luxury loft apartments. From industrial coffee tables to box planters and rustic wooden shelves, reclaimed wood works best when combined with raw metals and urban greenery. The use of concrete for side tables, planters, vases, and lighting harks back to Brutalism, an architectural movement derived from the French word for "raw." Add in plenty of plants and soft furnishings and fabrics to keep things from appearing too harsh and cold.

The reception of Hesiod in antiquity has lately attracted a considerable amount of scholarly attention. Last year saw, among other things, a volume dedicated to Plato's reception of Hesiod edited by G. R. Boys-Stones and J. H. Haubold, an Italian translation of all the scholia to all the works of Hesiod, as well as the work under review here, an edition and translation of the scholia by the Neoplatonist Proclus on Hesiod's Works and Days by Patrizia Marzillo.1 According to Suda, Proclus wrote a hypomnêma on Hesiod's Works and Days. Traces of this work have been preserved in the massive collection of scholia on Hesiod. In this work, originally submitted as a doctoral thesis at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (Munich), Marzillo has taken it upon herself to collect the Proclean material from this collection, edit it, and publish it together with a German translation and commentary.
In the first part of the introduction to her edition, Marzillo sketches an interpretation of Proclus' commentary. She argues that Proclus considered Hesiod's poem as an example of divinely inspired poetry that needed to be understood allegorically. The aim of his commentary was to introduce basic elements of Neoplatonic doctrine to a lay audience. Marzillo's interpretation is in part directed against that of Chiara Faraggina di Sarzana.2 The point is this. In the sixth essay of his commentary on Plato's Republic, Proclus distinguishes three types of poetry: inspired poetry, didactic poetry, and mimetic poetry. He needs this distinction in order to square the positive attitude of the Neoplatonists to poetry with Plato's criticism of poetry in the Republic. Plato, so the argument goes, finds fault with mimetic poetry only, not with the two other types of poetry. Of these, inspired poetry is vastly superior to didactic poetry. Whereas didactic poetry presents facts about the physical world or ethical precepts in a straightforward manner, inspired poetry deals with the divine world in allegorical form. For this reason, only inspired poetry is the object of allegorical interpretation. While inspired poetry may contain didactic and even mimetic passages, the opposite is not the case, i.e. didactic poetry does not contain passages of inspired, allegorical poetry. Whereas Faraggina di Sarzana had argued that, for Proclus, Hesiod's Works and Days constituted an example of didactic poetry, Marzillo argues that Proclus would class the poem as inspired poetry by pointing out that the scholia contain some instances of allegorical interpretation, for example in the case of the two manifestations of Eris and the myth of Prometheus and Pandora.
On the face of it, Marzillo's argument sounds reasonable. Yet on closer inspection there is reason for doubt. In the first scholion, Proclus describes the skopos (aim) of the poem explicitly as paideutikos, i.e. as didactic. For this reason, he continues, the work is free from 'ornaments of speech, epithets and metaphors … since simplicity and natural expressions fit ethical expositions.'3 Marzillo has little to say about this passage, which contains a clear indication that Proclus understood the Works and Days primarily as a didactic work, not as some sort of allegorical work. Against Marzillo's interpretation it can furthermore be pointed out that the scholia actually contain very little allegorical interpretation. This may be because, as Marzillo suggests, the person who excerpted Proclus' commentary was not greatly interested in obscure Neoplatonic metaphysical speculations. Yet the introductory scholion seems to imply that Proclus did not believe that the Works and Days required much allegorical interpretation. This perhaps also means that the degree to which Proclus' comments are original and independent from Plutarch's commentary may be overstated by Marzillo.
However interesting and important the issue of Proclus' interpretation of the Works and Days may be, the core of this book is an edition, and the second part of the introduction addresses various editorial issues, in particular Marzillo's criteria for identifying Proclus' notes within the corpus of scholia. On this issue she relies heavily on Agostino Pertusi, the editor of the standard edition of the scholia vetera on the Works and Days, who relies on palaeographical information for distinguishing Proclean material from other scholia. This evidence is uncontested and we thus see that the collection of Marzillo remains close to the conventional selection: Pertusi attributed about 255 scholia in his collection to Proclus, and was hesitant about 25 or so; Marzillo presents 283 fragments from Proclus' commentary, and labels about 20 with an asterisk to mark doubt about their authenticity. She has added some fragments on the basis of insights postdating Pertusi's edition; in this, she shows her allegiance to scholars believing that the comments of Proclus the philosopher cannot have been too 'grammatical' or 'linguistic'. All in all, her choices are well-founded and, moreover, explained in the commentary. The relevant evidence for the selection of scholia is summarized in the first of her three apparatuses.
As for the apparatus criticus, Marzillo's edition of the Proclean material is based on her own collation of the manuscripts. Of the twelve manuscripts generally deemed relevant for the transmission of Proclean scholia, Marzillo uses eleven, ignoring one ms. because the so-called 'Proclean' scholia in it are said to go back to non-Proclean grammatical scholia. As she indicates in her introduction, Marzillo leans heavily on Pertusi's edition. Her apparatus criticus in fact reads as a leaner version of Pertusi's, being cleansed of all the minor scribal errors and ill-supported aberrations carefully listed in his edition. Furthermore, Marzillo faithfully added later insights and ventured some conjectures of her own, thus creating a new and informative, transparent, and pleasantly readable apparatus criticus. It should be borne in mind, however, that students of the text must always keep their Pertusi close, as Marzillo, precisely because she is selective, does not offer a complete replacement.
A third apparatus, finally, offers a useful list of loci paralleli. The parallels offered, even though plentiful, are not exhaustive, but understandably so: it is a tricky category with potentially unlimited scope. It is our opinion, however, that some of the parallels offered in the commentary should have been in this apparatus instead: this holds most often in cases of cross-references to Proclus' own work.
All in all, the edition itself has been competently done and is a welcome addition to the series of recent editions of Proclus' works. All the more so, since it is the first edition of the remains of this work as such. It may be that the material was already available in Pertusi's edition, yet Marzillo's work makes it for the first time easily accessible to the ever-growing community of Proclean scholars.
The text is accompanied by a (German) translation and explanatory notes. Generally speaking, translation of scholia is a difficult task since the often terse and rather dense text is usually felt to need an 'explanatory' translation that clarifies the original structure and meaning; naturally, such a translation sometimes reduces the scope of interpretations available to readers of the translated text. This pitfall is unavoidable and it is a pity that Marzillo does not reflect upon it in her introduction, or elaborate upon her approach. Nevertheless, she manages the problem well: the translation is often as literal as possible and the structure of the text is mostly respected. Concessions to readability are mostly kept to a minimum, though there are some exceptions.
As for the actual content of her translation: in some cases there is, almost inevitably, room for discussion. In the case of XLVI, for example, Marzillo translates technikos nous as 'praktische Intelligenz'. The translation calls to mind Aristotle's notion of the practical intellect as opposed to the theoretical intellect. This association is apparently intended, for in her note Marzillo writes: 'mit der Intelligenz kann man die praktischen Probleme des Alltags lösen und sich erst danach den intellektuellen Spekulationen widmen.' However, when Proclus writes that it is the 'technical intellect' (καθ' ὃν οἱ ἄνθρωποι ζῶσι πρῶτον νοερῶς), we take it that he means that the 'technical intellect' is the lowest manifestation of the divine Intellect and therefore the first that human beings will experience. This first experience with Intellect may subsequently direct our attention towards the theoretical contemplation of the Forms, i.e. the essential activity of Intellect. Proclus says this explicitly in a long quotation from the Platonic Theology that Marzillo quotes in her commentary. Unfortunately she does so without analysing or even translating from the Greek this informative passage, leaving it to her readers to make sense of it themselves.
Finally, some words on the commentary. This part of Marzillo's book is particularly strong and useful in those cases where the attribution to Proclus or a specific interpretation of the scholion is at issue. In such cases, Marzillo shows herself in control of the relevant material and offers relevant discussions. Some of the entries in the commentary, however, seem somewhat out of place, such as paraphrases of the scholion, comments on the meaning of particular words (such as hapax legomena), and especially explanations of the Hesiodic text itself. In such cases, it appears somewhat unclear what kind of audience Marzillo envisages for her book.
To conclude, even though one might wish to disagree with some of Marzillo's interpretations, this does not alter the fact that, with her fine edition, she has opened up an interesting testimony about Proclus' reception of the 'other poet' for further investigation and discussion. In doing so, she has rendered an important service to the study of later Neoplatonism.

Mary Arrastia, who graduated with bachelor's degrees in chemistry and mathematics in the Honors College at Cal State L.A., is turning her passion for science into a career in research.
She will continue her research at Caltech, where she will pursue a Ph.D. in chemistry under an Earle C. Anthony Graduate Fellowship.
The 22-year-old Buena Park resident came to Cal State L.A. as a math major, fueled by an interest in AP calculus and statistics during high school. But she quickly picked up a dual major in chemistry after developing a fascination with scientific research. While at Cal State L.A., she participated in a summer research opportunity in Sao Carlos, Brazil. The eight-week trip was part of the International Research Experience for Students summer program offered at Cal State L.A.
Her experience there sparked an interest in health-related research.
Arrastia visited a number of laboratories during the summer program, where she saw for the first time a particle accelerator and a 3D printer. She also tested methods to determine whether patients have diabetes.
The trip was led by Chemistry Professor Frank Gomez, whom Arrastia described as an outstanding adviser, mentor and role model. She said she would not be headed to Caltech if it were not for the guidance of Gomez.
After returning from Brazil, Arrastia continued her research and presented the results conducted with Cal State L.A.'s lab team during a National American Chemical Society conference. The work was published in two academic peer reviewed journals.
A member of Phi Kappa Phi national honor society, Arrastia also received an honorable mention in the Barry Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program. She was vice president of the Chemistry and Biochemistry Club, service director, webmaster and co-president of the Golden Key International Honour Society, and vice president of external and internal affairs for the Academic Honors Association at Cal State L.A.
"The Honors College and Cal State L.A. have given me the opportunity to become a more well-rounded individual and scientist," she said.

D'var Torah: The Power of Naming
Towards the end of the second creation story in this week's parashah, Adam is alone and lonely. Though God causes the land to bring forth various creatures to provide him company, none of them satisfy Adam's need for companionship, so Isha is ultimately fashioned from his rib/side. Along the way, the Torah tells us, Adam gives all of the creatures names: "So out of the ground the Lord God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name." (Genesis 2:19)
God doesn't tell Adam to name them, but knows that Adam will. In fact, God is quite curious what names Adam will give. As presented here, the impulse and capacity to name things is a fundamental human trait. But what we name, and what names we give, seems to be a test. So what exactly is God looking for? What do acts of naming reveal?
The Midrash in Genesis Rabbah 17 may offer some clues. It begin with a backstory that before creating Adam God consulted with the ministering Angels. (This is one of a series of midrashim based on the strange phrase in Genesis 1:26, "We will make adam in our image in our likeness," that assumes that God consulted with other parties before creating humans.) The Angels ask what Adam will be like and God answers that Adam's wisdom, chochma, will be greater than that of the Angels. Following this conversation, the naming ritual begins. The animals are shown to the Angels first but they cannot name them. But when they are shown to Adam, Adam names the ox, then the camel, donkey, and horse.
So what is this chochma that Adam has and the Angels lack? By naming the domesticated animals first, it appears that naming is a proxy for identifying something's utility. Thus the Angels, who exist only to serve God, with no need for food or drink or anything domesticated animals can provide, lack the mix of intelligence and will to identify that which is potentially useful. They don't ask about things, and can't ask about things, what is this to me?
But then the midrash takes an interesting turn. God asks Adam, "What is your name?" And Adam answers "It would be nice for me to be called Adam because I was created from the earth (adama)." Adam looks past utility, how something else relates to him, and sees instead what his relationship is to something else.
(Note that the animals were also taken from the earth, but that is not what Adam sees. Perhaps someday Adam will recognize how both humans and animals share a common source, and their relationship will be transformed from the Genesis 1 imperative to "subdue" the land into the Genesis 2 suggestion that humans are in the garden "to till and to keep it." But that day is not today.)
The midrash then takes its most radical step. God asks Adam: "And me, what is my name?" And Adam replies: "It would be fitting for you to be called Adonai, since you are the master (adon) of all your creations." What a progression! First Adam sees how the animals relate to him. Then Adam sees how he relates to the world. And finally Adam sees how all of it relates to God. But by having Adam name God, the scene in which Adam grasps the "true hierarchy" also subtly subverts it. The unique power and role of human beings is to take a world that is otherwise quite happy going about its business and bring to it awareness and appreciation of God's presence. This too is a role that Angels cannot play.
The Midrash suggests that human wisdom, the grasping of the relationship between things, is manifest in naming - both in what we name, and what names we give. This reminds me of the work of legal theorist Catherine MacKinnon who, along with her colleagues, coined the term "sexual harassment." Before these pioneering feminists named this particular kind of interaction, it was an amorphous phenomenon, a common and generally accepted feature of the workplace and elsewhere. Before it was named, there was no way to legislate against it because there was no way to even talk about it. The act of naming, of being able to grasp the problematic relationships at play, was a critical step in bringing about long lasting change and ending abuse.
What should be clear is that naming - what we talk about and how we talk about it - can conceal or reveal, and even subjugate or liberate. But at its best, it is how God wants to be brought into the world.
Parashat Bereshit Self-Study
We are starting again! In this loaded parashah we hear about the creation of the world from 2 perspectives, learn some basic issues in human behavior, and get the genealogy (and development) of humanity in its early stages.
1) The first story of the creation of the world is told in Gen 1:1-2:3. Two of the words/roots repeated most frequently in the passage are Vayomer (He said) and Vayav'del (He separated). What might this tell us about God's ideas for this world?
2) When God makes the human (Adam) in the second creation story, God places Adam in the Garden "to work it and to watch it" (2:15). As everything that God had created seems to be self-sufficient, why do you think the human being needs to 'work and watch' the garden?
3) In the second creation story God makes animals, and brings them to Adam to see what Adam will name them (2:19-20). What is the significance of naming something or someone? What is the relationship between the named and the 'namer'?
4) Adam was forbidden to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, yet he eats from its fruit (2:16-17, 3:6-12). When God wants to confront Adam, He asks 'Ayeka?' ('where are you?') What is strange about this opening from God, and why do you think that God approached Adam in this manner?
5) After Cain killed his brother Abel, God tells him that now he is cursed from the Earth (Adama) that opened its mouth to take his brother's blood from him (4:10-13). How is this going to affect Cain? Why do you think that the punishment is coming from the Earth?
D'var Haftarah: Universal Significance
As many know, the first two chapters of Sefer Bereshit present two different cosmologies - descriptions of the creation of the world. Less well known is the cosmological statement made in this week's accompanying haftarah. Though all three differ in significant ways, each is an attempt to convey the meaning and significance of the world we live in. The Torah's first chapter expresses the idea of majesty and order and God's rule over the universe; the second expresses God's intimate relations with His human creations. The message in the haftarah, which was probably composed during the return from Babylonian exile, firmly casts God in the role of Creator and Ruler over all: "Thus said God, the Lord, who created the heavens and stretch them out, who spread out the earth and what it brings forth, who gave breath to the people upon it and life to those who walk therein." (42:5)
Why would the haftarah need to revisit God's role in creation? The p'shat, or simple contextual meaning, is that the prophet sought to establish God's proprietorship over the world in order to proclaim God's ability and right to carry out God's will. Rabbi David Kimche (13th century Provence), on the other hand, viewed the prophet's statement about God as part of a polemic against what he thought were illegitimate ideas regarding the creation of the world. Kimche projects his own reality onto the text but poses some interesting ideas in the process: "The prophet repeated his description of God as creator a number of times because there were in his generation people who believed incorrectly. There were those who believed that the world was not created, rather that it always existed, [therefore, it was important to state that] it does have a cause and one who caused it; others believe that the world was an accident and that there was no creator or cause… and on account of these wrong beliefs it was necessary to repeat this matter, that God blessed be He created the world and renews it and created it from nothing."
Why was Kimche so adamant about combating these Aristotelian ideas about creation? To his mind, these ideas were not only problematic because they challenged the idea of God as creator, but also because they implied that the world had no positive meaning and no moral order and purpose. These ideas were thus anathema to the Jewish mind. For Kimche, the Jew, the creation of the world was an event of monumental significance because it spelled out the meaning of existence and because it marked the world as positive and good.
The challenges marked in this debate are still with us. Is the world one of order or chaos, virtue or vice? Is it an accident or full of purposeful? How we see the world can have great impact on how we live in it and experience it.

25. October 21-27, 2016: This week in Memphis history - Saturday, October 22, 2016
2010: On the front page of The Daily News, Memphis Mayor A C Wharton marks one year in office with the city filing more than 130 lawsuits in Shelby County Environmental Court against owners of blighted properties. "I'm a lawyer and I've gotten to the point where I'm just saying, 'Hey, I gotta sue somebody," he says. Wharton says he feels "right at home" in the mayor's office. "You never see me arguing with council members," he adds. "Wonder why that is?" The remark is the closest Wharton comes to comparing his governing style to former Mayor Willie Herenton, whose July 2009 resignation set the stage for the October 2009 special election that Wharton won while serving as Shelby County mayor. The contrast in governing styles is one factor in Wharton's move to City Hall. But Wharton's relationship with the council is already becoming more complex as he marks one year as mayor.

Always wondering what to flaunt and what not with your leggings? We have got you covered.
Leggings are saviours, leggings are pants that will allow you to accentuate your toned legs. What started off as casual wear has now become a rage. With the progression in fashion, styling leggings have become easier. But did you ever get stuck on what footwear to style with it? While just about anything looks great with jeans, but leggings are a bit tricky.
Let's get into the science of styling what shoes to carry and what not with leggings.
This might sound a little dicey to many of you but printed leggings, floral prints, stretchable leather, solid coloured jeggings are all interesting options to wear your heels with. Avoid going too loud, let one item pop out of your top or legging and let your heels underplay it with a bang.
Styling ankle-length boots with leggings is a platonic combination. Make sure that your leggings are full length else they will make your calves look bulky when paired with ankle boots. To be safe choose a neutral or plain coloured boot to pair with your leggings.
If knee-length or combat boots are your go-to-anyway, bring them on with your leggings to change the entire vibe of your outfit. All of us must be those strugglers making boot fit over jeans. Henceforth, leggings, the fleece kinds are what we need to pair with our knee-length boots.
Sneakers are by far the most comfortable footwear and we all just live in them more. The same goes for the leggings too. Now, we bring in this combo of pairing your leggings with quirky sneakers, life will be comfortably best.
Kurti and leggings look best when paired with kolhapuri chappals or flats. Not only this choice of footwear will add the zing to your overall outfit, but will also give your feet the comfort they deserve.
When it comes to timeless flat footwear styles, loafers are still going strong. Loafers and leggings just go along perfectly.
Though heels look pretty stylish with legging you can also go for sandals with small block heels that ways your style quotient can be retained. You can also opt to wear gladiator sandals and tie then over your leggings, and top it up with a cool boho top and look like a diva.
Leggings are considerably formfitting clothing, and towering heels and platforms are best suited for something that is a little less formfitting.
Flipflops appear to be a bit too casual and if you happen to pair it up with your leggings for a formal event, it will make your leggings look a bit too out of the place.
The trend of these shoes has come and gone, so it's good to play safe.
These are just little visual guidelines on how to style your footwear closet with your favourite leggings. Step on the new trends and style like a boss lady.


I'm so glad to hear from you, Sarah! God bless you.
Nancy, that's a good quote from your Father. Too true. What's funny about me is that the more I strive to be better, the more often I'm aware of falling short, and so the more humble I feel!
Oh, the wisdom in what you say here! Thank you, Erina.

Although increasing cocoa production seems the right thing to do given the current margins, getting higher-quality fermented cocoa could prove more tricky. Indonesian farmers traditionally prefer to rush into cashing in their beans instead of waiting for the pods to ferment, which improves cocoa quality and raises the premium they get paid. Cocoa trees planted in have matured this year to yield poor quality pods, with up to beans in every grams, far more than the national standard of Author: Lewa Pardomuan.
Indonesia, the largest economy in Southeast Asia, has seen a slowdown in growth since , mostly due to the end of the commodities export boom. During the global financial crisis, Indonesia outperformed its regional neighbors and joined China and India as the only G20 members posting growth. Cocoa is one of the most attractive crops for farmers around the equator because of the specific climate and the certainty of income in the long term. The Indonesian cocoa sector has experienced tremendous growth during the last 25 years and is now the third biggest cocoa producer with about a 15% share of the total world cocoa bean production.
* Cocoa body sees Indonesia's exports at , T JAKARTA, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Indonesia's cocoa exports are expected to drop about 14 percent from . According to the World Cocoa Foundation (WCF), Indonesia is the third largest cocoa producer in the world, and this cash crop is strategically important to the country. Cocoa is big business based on smallholdings and intensive farming: % of cocoa production comes from small, family-run farms, typically hectares ( acres).

Cocoa is still the most significant income provider in cocoa-growing communities, accounting for more than 75% of the cash income for three quarters of the population. However, when the full range of food production by a household is accounted for alongside income from other crops and professional activities, the dependence on cocoa is reduced.

Buffers shown here are not lane widths, but represent the operating envelope and minimum distance to adjacent objects when in motion, and can overlap with adjacent lanes.
The width of vehicle lanes affects street safety and travel speeds. Narrower lanes generally result in slower travel speeds while increasing street safety for all users. For private motor vehicles in particular, narrower lane width, down to 10 feet or narrower in special cases, is correlated with all-user safety benefits.
Lane widths are determined in the context of both the design vehicle, or the regular user, and the control vehicle, or the infrequent but largest user. The design vehicle uses one lane, while the control vehicle may intermittently require the use of multiple lanes (refer to the Urban Street Design Guide for additional information). On many transit streets, the transit vehicle is both the design and control vehicle—both the regular and largest user.
Vehicles have both clearly defined vehicle spaces (the size of the vehicle itself) as well as a buffer space (or operating space) which defines the space needed to operate comfortably at a moderate speed. Wider vehicles can be accommodated in narrower lanes on an infrequent basis—even where street space is constrained, vehicles may on occasion use a part of an adjacent lane where the whole street section provides enough space to do so safely. Overlapping buffer zones can be safely accommodated at slower speeds.
Buses are among the largest vehicles operating on city streets, with mirror widths often exceeding available lane space. Where buses operate in a narrow mixed-traffic lane, intrusion into adjacent lanes may sometimes occur, such as when two buses pass each other. Ensure that adjacent lanes in a street section can occasionally accommodate such movements when needed.
Encouraging safe transit movement while accommodating efficient operations requires a predictable, even, and low-speed environment. Narrower transit lanes that are co-implemented with signal and intersection treatments, in-lane stops, appropriate stop spacing, and adjacent buffer zones, allow transit to progress comfortably at consistent speeds.
While transit vehicles in constrained spaces are sometimes subject to mirror strikes, wider mixed-traffic lanes can increase the number and severity of total crashes in which transit vehicles are involved.
Where buses use a travel lane adjacent to a bicycle lane, both bus and bike operational comfort are enhanced by providing a buffer space between them where width is available.
Vulnerable users like bicyclists should always be given sufficient space to operate safely at a comfortable distance from fast-moving traffic or from larger vehicles like buses and trucks, outside of the door zone.
Design for rail vehicles must factor dynamic vehicle envelopes, critically around turns and elevation changes. Vehicles on a fixed guideway cannot move around obstructions.
On streets with existing vehicle speeds above 35 mph, it may be necessary to introduce narrower lanes along with other design measures to lower vehicle speeds to a safe level for transit and pedestrians, or to fit a dedicated transit facility.
Lane width considerations for specific facilities are included in Transit Streets.
Bus lanes may be 10–11 feet wide when offset, and 11–12 feet when configured curbside or in transitway adjacent to an opposing lane of bus traffic.
Where space is available, use buffers rather than widened lanes to reduce side-swipe risks without increasing design speed. In mixed-travel lanes, assign added width to buffer zones to visually narrow lanes.
Shared bus-bike lanes may be 10–11 feet wide along segments where neither is expected to over take the other, such as where bus volumes are moderate or where bus speeds are low. Passing at stops may be accommodated with a 13-foot shared lane.
Where wide trucks commonly park or load in a parallel parking lane, potentially obstructing transit service in the adjacent travel lane, consider a parking buffer or wider travel lane.
In-street rail vehicles, including streetcar/tram/trolley and multi-unit LRVs, can operate in travel lanes 10–11 feet wide, depending on vehicle model. Mirror clearance may be a more significant factor for streetcars than for buses. Guideway and vehicle operating space must remain clear of obstacles, such as wide vehicles parked in an adjacent lane.
Combine these pairs of adjacent uses to configure a street, accounting on a case-by-case basis for existing space constraints and operational characteristics.
The assembly of adjacent lanes should account for friction and user comfort; the buffer envelopes of users may overlap infrequently or at low speeds. Minimum widths may not provide a comfortable operating space over long distances.
