What does 'left in, right out' mean in Subject 1?
3 Answers
Vehicles going straight have higher speed, so left-turning vehicles must yield to them. Left-turning vehicles follow traffic lights, while right-turning vehicles are generally not controlled by signals to avoid congestion at intersections, hence right-turning vehicles are required to yield to left-turning ones. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Arterial road: Refers to roads with wider lanes, higher traffic volume, complete safety and service facilities, and higher designated driving speeds. 2. Local road: Compared to arterial roads, these have narrower lanes, lower traffic volume, less complete safety and service facilities, and lower designated driving speeds. 3. Ramp: Also known as an approach, it refers to the connecting section between upper and lower roads of an interchange or viaduct, or the section connecting a highway with adjacent service roads.
The 'enter from the left, exit from the right' rule mentioned in Subject One simply means that when driving into a parking lot or similar places, it's best to enter from the left entrance and exit from the right. This design is mainly to facilitate traffic management and reduce the risk of head-on collisions. I've driven for many years and often see people driving randomly in mall parking lots, resulting in congestion or near scrapes. Following the 'enter left, exit right' rule improves order significantly, making entry and exit safer and quicker. If everyone drives as they please, entering and exiting from the same side, it can easily lead to chaos. Especially in crowded places like exams or daily shopping, this rule can help you avoid accidents. Practice it a few times while learning to drive, and you'll get used to it quickly.
I just passed the written driving test not long ago, so I remember the 'enter from the left, exit from the right' rule very clearly. It means you should enter from the left side and exit from the right side to avoid collisions. This rule appeared several times in the test questions, and I found it really helps in memorizing traffic regulations when doing practice tests. However, when actually driving, I often forget this rule in parking lots and end up flustered. Remembering 'enter left, exit right' makes things as smooth as using a GPS. Applying it in garages or toll stations saves time and reduces scolding from the instructor. This little knowledge point is actually super practical for getting a driver's license – it becomes second nature after practicing a few times.
