What are the inner lane and outer lane?
1 Answers
Here are the differences between the inner lane and outer lane: 1. Introduction: The inner lane is the fast lane, while the outer lane is the slow lane. In other words, the left side is the inner lane, and the right side is the outer lane. 2. One-way two-lane highways: For one-way two-lane highways, generally speaking, the inner lane (also known as the fast lane or overtaking lane) allows for faster travel, while the outer lane tends to be slower. This is because the outer lane is often occupied by large vehicles and intersects with highway entrances and exits, leading to frequent braking, deceleration, and merging of slower vehicles, resulting in slower speeds. 4. Common lane configurations: Common configurations include two-way 4-lane, two-way 6-lane, and two-way 8-lane roads. A road is divided into two directions by a barrier or solid yellow line, with each direction further divided into 2, 3, or 4 lanes by solid white lines. Novice drivers often lack awareness in identifying and distinguishing lane markings and signs at intersections. It's important to remember that lane markings continuously change as you proceed—sometimes merging, sometimes branching.
