What is the difference between a two-way lane and a tidal flow lane?
1 Answers
The difference between a two-way lane and a tidal flow lane lies in their traffic requirements. A two-way lane generally consists of two lanes for opposite directions, known as a two-way lane. Common configurations include two-way four-lane, two-way six-lane, and two-way eight-lane roads. A tidal flow lane, also called a variable lane, adjusts the direction of traffic flow based on varying traffic conditions during peak hours, typically in the morning and evening, on suitable roads. Below is an introduction to lane changing: 1. Yield to vehicles in the target lane: Give way to vehicles or pedestrians already in the lane you intend to enter. 2. Avoid frequent lane changes: Drive in an orderly manner and refrain from frequently changing lanes. 3. Do not change multiple lanes at once: Avoid switching across two or more lanes in one continuous movement. 4. Left lane yields to the right: When vehicles from both the left and right lanes merge into the same lane, vehicles from the left lane should yield to those from the right lane.
