What is a Same-Direction Lane?
1 Answers
Same-direction lanes refer to motor vehicle lanes where the direction of travel is the same. Same-direction lanes on highways: Highways typically have four same-direction lanes, with the second and third lanes being the middle lanes. Vehicles traveling at speeds above 110km/h should use the leftmost lane; those above 90km/h should use the middle lanes (lanes 2 and 3); the rightmost lane has a minimum speed limit of 60km/h. Motor vehicle lanes: Motor vehicle lanes are defined as the portion of the roadway (between curbs on urban roads or the paved surface on highways, designated for vehicle traffic) from the first lane divider line on the right to the center line (or geometric center line if no center line exists). Except under special circumstances, these lanes are exclusively for motor vehicle use.
