Why is it stipulated that vehicles on the auxiliary road must yield to those on the main road?
1 Answers
Main roads have higher traffic volume and faster speeds, making it easier for drivers to observe. Below are the specifications for auxiliary road setup: 1. Location: Auxiliary roads in ground-level expressways should be set on one or both sides of the main road. For elevated roads, auxiliary roads should be set at the ground level beneath the elevated section. In urban areas, auxiliary roads should be continuously set. For expressways in suburban areas, auxiliary roads can be set continuously or intermittently. 2. Direction: Auxiliary roads set on both sides of the main road should adopt one-way traffic, while those set on one side of the main road can adopt two-way traffic. 3. Distance: For the cross-section layout of auxiliary roads on ground-level expressways, physical barriers or markings should be used to separate motor vehicle lanes from non-motor vehicle lanes. When motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes are physically separated in one direction, the width of the motor vehicle lane should not be less than 7.5m. When motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes are separated by markings in one direction, the width of the auxiliary road should not be less than 8.5m. When both motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle traffic volumes are high, the width of the auxiliary road can be 12~13m.
