What is the difference between a guide line and a waiting zone line?
1 Answers
The difference between a guide line and a waiting zone line is: The left-turn waiting zone line is marked with arrow indicators within the lane and has a white stop line at the end. Left-turning vehicles must wait here, guiding them to enter the left-turn waiting zone during the straight-through phase, extending into the intersection without obstructing the normal flow of straight-through traffic, thereby improving traffic efficiency. The guide line allows left-turning vehicles to proceed in an orderly manner in this lane, a design that enhances intersection efficiency. Introduction: The left-turn guide line demarcates the boundary between left-turning motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles, primarily used at irregularly shaped intersections. The left-turn guide line is white, dashed, with 2m solid segments and 2m gaps, and a width of 15cm. It connects adjacent left-turn lanes and non-motorized lanes with a circular curve. Left-turning motor vehicles travel to the left of the guide line, while non-motorized vehicles travel to the right. Precautions: When entering the waiting zone for a left turn, do not cross the zebra crossing. The left-turn waiting zone is exclusively for left-turning vehicles. When the straight-through signal is green, even if the left-turn signal is red, left-turning vehicles are permitted to enter the waiting zone and proceed only when the left-turn signal turns green.
