When a self-important hardline politician tried to queue-jump, they booed him to the back of the line.

IEX says the pause lets it update fast-changing prices before the speediest traders can act on stale data and effectively queue-jump.

For the group of queue jump sellers, some of whom ripped up their tickets and adverts selling their places, the exercise wasn't a complete waste of time.

The new Sonos app can now be 3D Touched to reveal three handy options: play or pause the current track in your play queue, jump to your favorites, or search your music library.

The most contentious issue has been IEX's "speed bump," which slows down orders by 350 millionths of a second so IEX can update fast-changing prices before the speediest traders can act on stale data and effectively queue-jump.

Eventually, ticket holder number 247 came to the door and Russian photographer Anatoly Doroshchenko, who had arrived that morning and didn't pay for the right to queue-jump, became the first purchaser in Russia of one of the new phones.

Queue jump advance phases are typically 5-10 seconds in duration; longer time may be needed if multiple buses or right turning traffic need to be flushed through the queue jump in one signal cycle. Pedestrian phases can generally run concurrent with a queue jump phase as long as there are no protected turn phases also running with the queue jump phase.

Occasionally, high-occupancy vehicles are allowed to use a queue jump.

Queue jump lane continued through an intersection :"Queue jump" may also refer to cutting in line. A queue jump is a type of roadway geometry used to provide preference to buses at intersections, often found in bus rapid transit systems. It consists of an additional travel lane on the approach to a signalised intersection. This lane is often restricted to transit vehicles only.

In addition, bus-only queue-jump bus stops with boarding islands would be added at 65th Place. In April 2019, the NYCDOT announced that eight queue-jump lanes would be added along Broadway: at Grand Street, Whitney Avenue and 78th Street in both directions, and at 75th Street northbound and Corona Avenue southbound. These lanes would speed up bus service on the Q53 SBS and Q58. A third corridor, Rockaway Beach Boulevard from Beach 116th to Beach 73rd Street, carrying the Q22 and Q52/Q53 SBS, also received bus lanes on parts of the corridor.

Queue jumps are only effective in certain situations. First, there has to be an existing source of delay or roadway congestion; if there is no congestion and the normal traffic signal is usually green, then the bus driver has no reason to move into the queue jump. The length of the queue jump lane needs to be long enough to provide a meaningful time savings. Queue jumps can also be used in situations such as bus stop pullouts or at the end of a bus-only lane, in order to help expedite the bus merge into traffic.

Some queue jump lanes permit vehicles such as bicycles, mopeds, and/or motorcycles to use the lanes. In some cases, users of small vehicles may use the queue jump lanes to bypass the regularly queued traffic, at which point the vehicle can then maneuver back into the regular lanes at the front of the queue. Such a scheme is commonly found in London, England. Increasing utilisation of smaller vehicles can reduce the required headway for vehicles, subsequently increasing the densities and therefore capacities supportable by the roadway, and ultimately increasing the overall efficiency for all users of the system.

When an advance signal is used, it should be actuated by an approaching bus to avoid needlessly delaying other traffic when there is no bus present. If the queue jump lane is designated as bus-only, then standard traffic signal detection such as loop detectors or video detection can be used. If there is a limited amount of other traffic in the lane, then two or more loop detectors can be used and configured with AND logic such that only a long vehicle will actuate the advance phase. If the queue jump lane is shared with a higher volume of other traffic, a more high-tech detection scheme may be needed such as Opticom or RFID.

Route #2 was replaced with Routes #125 and #138 during Phase 1 of the Albany County Route Restructuring in November 2011. BusPlus service runs the entire length of the Route 5 corridor, although it currently operates differently from the original plans. In the short term, transit signal priority and queue jump lanes are being constructed and will be rolled out as features of the bus rapid transit service.

An additional $6.8 million grant from the Washington State Department of Transportation was used to build the line's northern terminus at Seaway Transit Center. Construction on the Seaway Transit Center began in May 2017 and was scheduled to be finished by mid-2018. Construction on the rest of the stations and the 128th Street overpass began in November 2017. The queue jump and bus lane on the west side of the 128th Street interchange was opened in January 2018.

Traffic Signal Priority would be implemented on additional routes, and new bus lanes and queue jump lanes would be instituted. In addition, the MTA would study ways to implement exclusive bus lanes and busways on priority corridors. To ensure that bus lanes are not blocked, dedicated transit-priority traffic teams would be put into place with the NYPD in 2019. Tap readers would be installed by the end of 2020, and all-door boarding would be installed with the introduction of a new contactless payment system that is planned to replace the MetroCard.

Swift stations were given a number of small improvements after the line opened. Curb bumpers were installed in June 2010 to help guide buses closer to the raised platform, and reduce the gap at the door. In 2012, a queue jump signal was installed northbound at the north end of the BAT lanes at 148th Street, allow Swift buses to merge into traffic. Real-time arrival signs debuted at Swift stations in 2013, featuring a countdown to the arrival of the next bus that is estimated using GPS units on coaches.

Another major corridor is planned on 149th Street between River Avenue and Southern Boulevard. Smaller bus lane corridors exist. There are bus lanes on East 163rd Street from Tiffany Street to Southern Boulevard and East 161st Street from Melrose Avenue to Third Avenue. A southbound queue jump for the Bx5 is located at the intersection of Southern Boulevard and East 163rd Street. Bus lanes are also installed on Broadway between 218th Street and 231st Street, for the Bx7, Bx9, and Bx20 routes, and on Webster Avenue between 174th Street and 176th Street, for the Bx41 and Bx41 SBS routes.

Pitt River Bridge & Lougheed Hwy The Pitt River Bridge and Mary Hill Interchange Project included a new seven-lane bridge that replaced the existing swing bridges, as well as an interchange to replace the current Lougheed Highway and Mary Hill Bypass intersection.Archived - Pitt River Bridge project marks milestone Golden Ears Bridge, which connects Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge to Surrey and Langley, opened in 2009. Golden Ears is the name of the summit that lies north of Pitt Meadows. In 2011, Lougheed Highway upgrades included the widening and extension of the westbound HOV lane between the Golden Ears Bridge and Harris Road, the addition of bus queue jump lanes in both directions, at the Kennedy Road intersection leading to and from the Pitt River Bridge.

Buses travel south in general purpose lanes on Evergreen Way, passing over State Route 526 north of Casino Road Station. The road continues southwest as State Route 99 into the unincorporated community of Lake Stickney, where the Blue Line stops at Airport Road Station, a transfer with the Green Line to the Boeing Everett Factory and Mill Creek, and Lincoln Way Station north of an interchange with State Route 525. The line enters the city of Lynnwood and moves into business access and transit (BAT) lanes at 148th Street Station, where a queue jump signal for northbound buses was installed in 2012. The Blue Line continues south on State Route 99 through Lynnwood, serving the Lynnwood Crossroads area at 196th and 200th streets and the Edmonds College with a southbound-only stop at 204th Street, and continues into Edmonds to stop at the Edmonds Swedish Medical Center.
