Is it a violation to change lanes in a variable lane?

[EverlyFitz]

Changing lanes in a variable lane is considered a traffic violation. Definition of a variable lane: A variable lane is primarily designed for sections where traffic is concentrated during peak hours with fewer lanes, or where there is a significant difference in traffic flow between morning and evening peak hours. It allows for a change in the direction of travel. Purpose of a variable lane: The main objective of setting up a variable lane is to address the vehicle flow at intersections severely affected by tidal traffic phenomena. In simpler terms, during morning peak hours, the straight-through traffic at an intersection is heavier, while during evening peak hours, the left-turn traffic increases. This difference in traffic flow between morning and evening peak hours is known as the tidal phenomenon. The so-called 'tidal traffic phenomenon' refers to the situation where, every morning, the traffic flow into the city is heavy while the reverse flow is light; in the evening, the outbound traffic flow becomes heavy, exacerbating congestion.
