What is the difference between guide lines and channelizing lines?
1 Answers
The purpose of setting channelizing lines is to ensure that every vehicle can "follow its lane", playing a role in regulating, guiding, and warning traffic, thereby reducing traffic accidents. Guide lines are set at the entrance section of intersections as lane demarcation lines, called guide lines, used to indicate the position of guide lanes where vehicles should drive according to the guiding direction. Channelizing lines: The form of channelizing lines mainly consists of one or several white V-shaped lines or diagonal line areas set according to the terrain of the intersection, indicating that vehicles must drive along the prescribed route and must not cross or drive over the lines. They are mainly used at overly wide, irregular, or complex intersections, ramp entrances of interchanges, or other special locations. Guide lines: Guide lines are set at the entrance section of intersections as lane demarcation lines, called guide lines, used to indicate the position of guide lanes where vehicles should drive according to the guiding direction; such markings are generally painted at intersections with heavy traffic to clarify the direction of travel, ensure each vehicle follows its lane, and alleviate traffic pressure.
