Why is the left-turn lane on the far right?
1 Answers
The left-turn lane is placed on the far right most commonly due to insufficient turning radius. Since traditional left-turn lanes are located on the innermost side, this can lead to buses or large vehicles lacking enough turning radius to smoothly navigate the intersection. To prevent road congestion and reduce safety hazards, the left-turn lane is set on the right side to increase the turning radius, ensuring smooth turning and U-turns for vehicles. Information about yellow dashed lines: 1. Introduction: Yellow dashed lines allow for lane borrowing for overtaking or U-turns when it is safe to do so. Additional information: Traffic markings consist of various lines, arrows, text, raised pavement markers, and delineators painted on the road surface, serving as traffic safety facilities. 2. Function: Yellow dashed lines, like solid yellow lines, are used to separate lanes of opposing traffic directions.
