From the article:

> Features like real-time electronic station signs, dedicated bus lanes and traffic signal priority will be added as construction continues.

The question is whether dedicated lanes for 100% of the route is a launch blocker. Remember that portions of the route are more rural and may not have any congestion to deal with.

From what I see, where there is a lack of dedicated lanes the roads are typically quite narrow--very little room for expansion for even a single dedicated lane (aside from the two lanes of regular traffic).

One section of the route is wide enough, but iirc, the residents along this particular segment in Provo fought against the dedicated lane (and won, afaik).

I live in Provo and drive frequently through the construction for the BRT. There will be dedicated lanes where there is typical congestion.
