How to Drive on Sawtooth Road Markings?
1 Answers
Sawtooth road markings should be followed according to the direction indicated on the lane signs. Sawtooth lanes, also known as tidal lanes or variable lanes, refer to lanes with multiple diagonal lines marked on the inner side, allowing the direction of travel to be changed based on real-time traffic flow. Sawtooth lanes are primarily designed for sections where traffic is concentrated during peak hours but lanes are insufficient, or where there is a significant difference in traffic flow between morning and evening peak periods. These lanes are mainly set up at intersections and can be flexibly adjusted according to the characteristics of traffic flow during different time periods, changing the direction of travel to alleviate traffic pressure. They are particularly suitable for intersections requiring time-based traffic management measures.
