What is the left lane?
1 Answers
The left lane is the overtaking lane. Below are specific details about the overtaking lane: 1. Position: The overtaking lane is located on the innermost (leftmost) lane of a highway. It is only designated when the road meets the standards of a bidirectional six-lane highway. 2. Function: The overtaking lane is provided for vehicles that need to overtake or those traveling at the required speed. However, some drivers occupy the overtaking lane for extended periods, forcing vehicles that need to overtake to do so from the slower travel lanes. This increases the speed differential between the overtaking vehicle and the slower-moving traffic, making it more dangerous and prone to accidents when overtaking from the travel lane.
