Is it allowed to go straight in a variable direction lane?

It is allowed to go straight in a variable direction lane. Variable lanes have multiple diagonal lines marked on the inner side, indicating that the direction of travel can be changed at any time based on traffic flow. This is mainly 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 hours. When encountering such lanes, simply follow the direction indicated by the variable lane. Note that there are time restrictions, and the direction of travel cannot be chosen arbitrarily at any time. Precautions for driving in variable lanes: When the signal light at the entrance of a reversible variable lane is green, left-turning vehicles are allowed to enter. After entering the variable lane, follow the normal traffic signs, markings, and signals. When the small signal light at the entrance is red or yellow, vehicles are not allowed to enter the lane. After the retractable barrier at the reversible variable lane is opened, U-turn vehicles should make an early U-turn at the entrance of the reversible variable lane when possible. U-turns are prohibited in the inner left-turn lane at the intersection. Only after the retractable barrier at the reversible variable lane is closed can U-turns be made in the inner left-turn lane at the intersection. After entering a variable lane, vehicles are prohibited from stopping within the yellow grid lines at the entrance. The reversible variable lane only allows U-turns for vehicles coming from the eastbound direction; U-turns are not allowed for vehicles coming from the westbound direction.
