What do main road vehicles and auxiliary road vehicles mean?
1 Answers
Main road vehicles refer to motor vehicles traveling on the main road, while auxiliary road vehicles refer to motor vehicles traveling on the auxiliary road. The differences between main roads and auxiliary roads are as follows: Main roads are exclusively for motor vehicles, whereas auxiliary roads are mixed-use for motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians. Another difference is speed limits: auxiliary roads have a speed limit of no more than 60 km/h, while main roads can have speed limits of 80 km/h or higher. The specific distinctions between main roads and auxiliary roads are as follows: 1. Different functions: When there is too much traffic on the main road, causing high traffic pressure, some vehicles can first travel on the auxiliary road to alleviate the traffic pressure on the main road. 2. Different specifications: For one-way motor vehicle lanes with physical separation from non-motor vehicle lanes, the width of the motor vehicle lane should not be less than 7.5m; for one-way motor vehicle lanes with marked separation from non-motor vehicle lanes, the width of the auxiliary road should not be less than 8.5m; when both motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle traffic volumes are high, the width of the auxiliary road can be 12~13m. 3. Different quantities: Auxiliary roads in ground-level expressways should be set on one or both sides of the main road; in elevated roads, they should be set on the ground level below the elevated road; in urban areas, they should be continuously set. For auxiliary roads of expressways located in suburban areas, they can be set continuously or intermittently.
