What is the difference between a waiting zone and a guide line?
1 Answers
Difference between waiting zone and guide line: Different definitions: The front section of a waiting zone should be a stop line, with both sides being parallel white dotted lines slightly curved. There must be white left-turn guide arrows within the waiting zone. If the waiting zone is long, guide arrows can be repeated in the middle; if the waiting zone is short, there is only one set of guide arrows. Guide lines are set up at intersections with large areas, irregular shapes, or complex traffic organization, where vehicles have difficulty finding exit lanes or where traffic flow interweaving is severe. Different functions: The waiting zone is designed to increase the capacity of left-turn lanes, reduce the waiting time for drivers to make left turns at intersections, allow more left-turning vehicles to pass smoothly during the left-turn phase, and improve the traffic capacity of the intersection; guide lines are intended to assist vehicles in driving and turning.
