What are the differences between service roads and non-motorized vehicle lanes?
1 Answers
The differences between service roads and non-motorized vehicle lanes lie in their functions, specifications, and quantities. Below are the relevant details: 1. Different functions: When there is too much traffic on the main road and the traffic pressure is too high, some vehicles can first drive on the service road to alleviate the traffic pressure on the main road. 2. Different specifications: When there is a physical separation between one-way motor vehicle lanes and non-motorized vehicle lanes, the width of the motor vehicle lane should not be less than 7.5m; when there is a marked separation between one-way motor vehicles and non-motorized vehicles, the width of the service road should not be less than 8.5m; when the traffic volume of both motor vehicles and non-motorized vehicles is large, the width of the service road can be 12~13m. 3. Different quantities: Service roads should be set on both sides or one side of the main road in ground-level expressways, on the ground level under elevated roads in elevated expressways, and should be continuously set in urban areas. For service roads of expressways located in suburban areas, they can be set continuously or intermittently.
