English term or phrase: Buffer
This HOV lane will operate in the inside lane as a non barrier-separated, continuous-access facility with no buffer.

Je n'arrive pas à savoir s'il s'agit d'un type de séparation ou d'un aménagement/d'une voie, d'insertion par exemple.

voie intermédiaire


Explanation:
Je ne suis vraiment pas sûr, mais je me demande s'ils veulent dire qu'il n'y aura pas une voie "tampon" entre les voies normales et la voie HOV (style "collector"). Je me suis demandé si, comme vous dites, cela voudrait dire "sans séparation" mais cela serait redondant par rapport au début de la phrase (ce qui n'est pas impossible!).
