Which lane is generally for straight-through traffic in a two-lane road?

Both lanes are for straight-through traffic. Here are the relevant details: 1. Left lane: Note that left turns must wait in the left lane. 2. Right lane: Right turns are permitted, but since it is not a national standard lane, if there are vehicles waiting for the green light signal in the right lane, check the sign 50 meters before the intersection. If there is no separate left-turn lane indicator, both lanes can proceed straight through on a green light. 3. No signs: If it is a small intersection without lane indicators, both lanes can proceed straight through. Generally, the left lane allows for left turns and straight-through traffic, while the right lane allows for right turns and straight-through traffic.

As a seasoned long-distance driver, I'm very familiar with how to navigate two-lane roads. On regular roads, both the left and right lanes usually allow straight-through traffic, but you need to pay attention to the road markings. Generally, the far-right lane is the main through lane, while the middle or left lane often permits straight driving as well. On highways, the situation is slightly different - with two lanes, the right lane is the travel lane while the left lane serves as the passing lane. However, the most reliable approach is to follow the pavement arrow markings, as sometimes a lane may be designated as turn-only. Additionally, special attention should be paid to traffic regulations in tunnels or special road sections, where no-passing signs may be posted in certain areas.

Last time at driving school, I specifically asked the instructor which lane to take on a two-lane road. The instructor said normally both lanes can go straight, but choosing the right lane is safer. When there's a dedicated right-turn lane, the left lane becomes the straight-through lane. The key is learning to read the ground arrows and guide signs - usually there are prompts about 100 meters before the intersection. I've also noticed that during rush hours in urban areas, lanes may temporarily change, so it's important to follow traffic police directions. When I first got my license, I was most afraid of choosing the wrong lane, but now I'm used to slowing down first to clearly see the signs before selecting a lane.

I live in the suburbs and commute by car every day, so I'm very familiar with two-lane roads. On national and provincial highways, both lanes usually allow going straight, but in village and town sections, be careful: the right lane often has pedestrians and bicycles, while the left is relatively clearer. Once, I didn't notice a road sign and got into trouble—the left lane suddenly became a left-turn-only lane, forcing me to change lanes abruptly, which was particularly dangerous. Be extra cautious on bridges or around curves, as some sections narrow, requiring you to slow down in advance. At night, also watch for reflective road studs; the blue and white straight lane markers are most visible in the dark.
