Going straight and turning left at a grade separation. The following is an introduction to the knowledge about the left-turn waiting area: 1. Introduction: The 'left-turn waiting area' refers to the area where vehicles in the left-turn lane must move forward when the straight-through signal for the same direction turns green, waiting for the signal to change before making the turn. The left-turn lane is extended by several meters with a white dashed line frame, directly connecting to the middle of the road. These white dashed frames are the designated 'left-turn waiting area'. 2. Notes: The left-turn waiting area allows vehicles in the left-turn lane to enter in advance when the straight-through signal for the same direction turns green, waiting to make the turn. The range of the left-turn waiting area is from the original vehicle stop line to the center of the road, with a slight curve at the end and crossing the pedestrian crossing in the middle. At intersections with a left-turn waiting area, traffic signals must follow the rule of straight-through first, then left turn.

Driving straight through an interchange, simply put, means continuing along your current direction at a crossroads with overpasses or tunnels, without turning or changing lanes. As a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience, I often see novice drivers getting confused in such areas, especially at urban ring expressway entrances where traffic lights and road markings are crucial. Remember to stay in your lane when going straight and avoid crossing lines, as it could lead to collisions with turning vehicles. I recall one rush hour incident where a young driver almost ran a red light by missing the signs—how dangerous! These designs aim to reduce congestion and accidents, so always stay focused, follow navigation or road signs diligently, and prioritize safety.

Driving straight through an interchange means going directly forward without stopping or turning when passing through intersections that don't directly cross at ground level. As a father of two, I always emphasize teaching my kids these little traffic knowledge points when driving them around. For example, at highway exit overpasses, if you choose the wrong lane, you might end up going in circles. Don't think it's simple - many people, unfamiliar with the road or in a hurry, ignore traffic signals and cause accidents. I remember last month on the Second Ring Road, a taxi cutting corners almost caused an incident. The key to safe driving is observing road markings in advance. If unsure, slow down and check the directional signs. Driving isn't just about technical skills - it's a matter of responsibility.

Going straight at an interchange essentially means driving straight through the multi-level intersection structure along the main road without turning. As a taxi driver with over a decade of experience logging hundreds of kilometers daily in the city, I often encounter tunnel-style intersections on expressways. If you're going straight, there are usually dedicated lanes and clear signage for easy identification. Missing them might lead to detours or traffic jams, but paying attention to the overhead guidance signs prevents mistakes. Just stay calm behind the wheel and follow the traffic signals—that's the key.
