What does a variable lane mean?
1 Answers
Variable lane refers to a lane marked with multiple diagonal lines on the inner side, which can change its direction indication at any time according to traffic flow. It is mainly designed for road sections where traffic is concentrated during peak hours but the number of lanes is insufficient, or where there is a significant difference in traffic flow between morning and evening peak hours. Variable lanes are primarily set up at intersections and can be flexibly adjusted based on the characteristics of traffic flow and direction during different time periods, changing the driving direction of the lane to alleviate traffic pressure. Variable lanes are particularly suitable for intersections that require time-based traffic management measures. When encountering such a lane, drivers should follow the direction indicated by the variable lane.
