What is the difference between an auxiliary road and a non-motorized vehicle lane?
1 Answers
The difference between an auxiliary road and a non-motorized vehicle lane lies in their different functions, specifications, and quantities. Here are the relevant details: 1. Different functions: When there are too many vehicles on the main road and traffic pressure is high, some vehicles can first drive on the auxiliary road to alleviate the traffic pressure on the main road. 2. Different specifications: When there is a physical separation between one-way motor vehicle lanes and non-motorized vehicle lanes, the width of the motor vehicle lane should not be less than 7.5m; when there is a marked separation between one-way motor vehicles and non-motorized vehicles, the width of the auxiliary road should not be less than 8.5m; when both motor vehicle and non-motorized vehicle traffic volumes are high, the width of the auxiliary road can be 12~13m. 3. Different quantities: Auxiliary roads should be set on both sides or one side of the main road in ground-level expressways, on the ground level under elevated roads in elevated expressways, and should preferably be continuously set in urban areas. For auxiliary roads of expressways located in suburban areas, they can be set continuously or intermittently.
