Can You Change Lanes in a Variable Lane?

[Alexia]

Variable lanes allow lane changes. Definition of Variable Lanes: Variable lanes are primarily set up for sections where traffic is concentrated during peak hours but has fewer lanes, or where there is a significant difference in traffic flow between morning and evening peak hours. These lanes can change the direction of travel. Purpose of Variable Lanes: The purpose of setting up variable lanes is to address the vehicle flow at intersections severely affected by tidal phenomena. In simpler terms, during morning peak hours at an intersection, the flow of straight-moving traffic is heavier, while during evening peak hours, the flow of left-turning traffic is heavier. This difference in traffic flow between morning and evening peak hours is known as the tidal phenomenon.
