What is the Difference Between Lateral Deceleration and Longitudinal Deceleration?
1 Answers
Introduction to the differences between lateral deceleration and longitudinal deceleration: 1. Different appearance: Lateral deceleration markings are rectangular dashed lines; longitudinal deceleration markings are diamond-shaped. 2. Different directions: Lateral deceleration markings are perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel; longitudinal deceleration markings are parallel to the direction of vehicle travel. The standard term for deceleration markings is deceleration zone markings. Below are detailed introductions: 1. Lateral deceleration markings: These are white dashed lines set up in toll plaza areas, exit ramps, or other road sections requiring vehicle deceleration. They come in forms of single dashed lines, double dashed lines, or triple dashed lines, set perpendicular to the direction of travel. Lane lateral deceleration markings consist of a group of parallel white dashed lines to remind drivers to slow down. 2. Longitudinal deceleration markings: Lane longitudinal deceleration markings are a group of diamond-shaped dashed lines parallel to the lane boundary lines. At the starting position of the lane longitudinal deceleration markings, a gradient section is set up, where the diamond-shaped dashed lines gradually widen from narrow, with the width increasing from centimeters to centimeters. This is one of the newly added markings in the new national standard for road traffic markings (GB78.-dao9).
