Can You Make a Left Turn in a Tidal Lane?
1 Answers
Tidal lanes allow left turns, but drivers must follow the actual traffic signal instructions. Here are specific details about tidal lanes: 1. Introduction: A tidal lane, also known as a variable lane, refers to a lane where the direction of traffic can change based on the varying traffic flow during peak and off-peak hours. This is implemented on suitable roads to test adjusting lane directions during different time periods. The direction of traffic is controlled by lane signal lights, altering the number of lanes available for specific directions. 2. On-site Control: If the left-turn lane is congested while the straight lane has light traffic, traffic police can use a remote control to switch the straight lane to a left-turn lane in less than a minute. The lane direction can change in real-time according to traffic flow, effectively managing congestion by redirecting vehicles from crowded lanes to less congested ones.
