What does a reversible contraflow lane mean?

[VanFinley]

Reversible contraflow lane, also known as a contraflow left-turn lane. Simply put, it involves adjusting the traffic light sequence to allow vehicles making a left turn to use the adjacent opposing lane, effectively creating an additional left-turn lane to reduce traffic congestion. Here are the relevant details: 1. Function of reversible contraflow lanes: The primary purpose of setting up "reversible contraflow lanes" is to make full use of road resources at intersections. By adapting to the flow characteristics of traffic during different time periods, these lanes alter the path of vehicles, alleviating traffic pressure and improving efficiency. 2. Precautions when entering reversible contraflow lanes: When the signal light for the "reversible contraflow lane" turns red, all vehicles are prohibited from entering. Violators will be penalized by traffic authorities for running a red light, incurring 6 penalty points and a fine. If a traffic accident occurs, the violator will be held accountable. Only motor vehicles are permitted in "reversible contraflow lanes"; non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians are not allowed to enter.
