Which Lane is the Inner Lane on a Highway?
1 Answers
The right side is considered the outer lane, while the left side is the inner lane. The innermost lane is the overtaking lane, with the first lane designated as the overtaking lane (speed limit: 100-120 km/h). The inner lane refers to the lane closest to the centerline of the road in a multi-lane carriageway. The outer lane refers to the lane closest to the roadside in a multi-lane carriageway. Below is an introduction to lane knowledge: 1. Lane Division: On highways, starting from the left side of the direction of vehicle travel, the first lane is the overtaking lane (speed limit: 100-120 km/h), while the second and third lanes are the main travel lanes. 2. Emergency Lane: The lane adjacent to the main travel lane (furthest to the right) is the shoulder (also called the emergency stopping area). It is used for emergency stops when a vehicle breaks down or as an emergency rescue channel in case of an accident on the main lanes. During such times, other vehicles should not occupy the shoulder (emergency stopping area) for parking.
