How to Drive on a Reversible Lane?
2 Answers
Here is the correct way to drive on a reversible lane: 1. Before entering the reversible lane, check if the signal light turns green. Only when it turns green can you enter the reversible lane and wait to make a left turn. Do not enter the reversible lane when the red light is on. 2. Do not cross the lane markings or change lanes directly while driving on the reversible lane. Wait patiently for the signal light to turn green before using the reversible lane to make a left turn. 3. Pay attention to the instructions on the signs. Generally, reversible lanes have time restrictions, such as being available during morning and evening rush hours but not at other times. 4. If the traffic volume on the reversible lane becomes too heavy or no longer suits the intersection's traffic flow, follow the on-site instructions of traffic police and avoid using the reversible lane arbitrarily. 5. Be especially cautious when passing through a reversible lane for straight-through traffic. Check the signal light before using the reversible lane to avoid running a red light. 6. When encountering a reversible lane, yield to vehicles making U-turns, as the left-turn entrance of the reversible lane often intersects with the U-turn location. Be sure to yield in time.
Driving on tidal lanes, let me share some veteran driver tips. Tidal lanes are essentially dedicated lanes that change direction based on rush hour traffic flow - typically inbound during morning commutes and outbound in evenings. Always check the traffic signals or electronic signs for current direction first, don't just rely on road markings. I once almost collided head-on during peak hours by not paying attention, luckily no accident happened. For daily driving, I recommend checking schedules in advance, allowing buffer time around rush hours. Use navigation apps like Gaode or Baidu which give real-time lane direction alerts. Follow traffic rules strictly - no running red lights or ignoring signs to avoid tickets and dangers. Safety first, drive slower when needed, especially during low visibility conditions like rain or fog when you must watch signals extra carefully. Master these and urban traffic becomes much easier.
