A fair proportion of Milans' outer circle trolleybus routes are along triple carriageway roads where the central roadway is restricted to buses and certain other vehicles, such as taxis, motor bikes and the emergency services. Theoretically by having these semi private rights of way the buses are able to operate in BRT (bus rapid transport) mode, although my experience seemed to suggest that the frequent delays at traffic signaled junctions negated any potential benefits.
