Can you go straight in a variable direction lane?

[VanMaggie]

In some intersections, variable direction lanes allow going straight, while in others they do not. These lanes are flexible, so you should drive according to road signs. Below is relevant information about variable direction lanes: 1. Overview: These lanes allow more than one driving direction after entering and are usually set up in complex traffic areas. They often appear in the left or right lane, typically combining straight and right turns into one lane or left turns and U-turns into one lane. This increases flexibility and mobility, giving vehicles more options to avoid congestion. 2. Notes: (1) Before entering the lane, observe the direction signs above the lane. If the direction does not match your intended route, do not enter the variable direction lane. (2) Pay attention to roadside signs, as the permitted direction in variable lanes may change based on time periods. Vehicles that mistakenly enter must follow the direction allowed during that time.
