I don’t think he’d be the first. Re: Merging from center lane illegal? News to me. - mrbigstuff - 05-07-2020 RgrF wrote: Yeah, this is what I was going to write. Also, this traffic planning is when the municipality cedes their engineering, and more or less tells the public to "figure it out." Re: Merging from center lane illegal?

We did that back in the day - they were called rotaries. Re: Merging from center lane illegal?

Neither direction has the right-of-way, and both directions are permitted to use the lane for passing. In a similar layout, three lanes are striped with two in one direction and one in the other, but traffic in the direction with one lane is allowed to cross the centerline to pass." "Another type of center two-way lane is a "two-way left turn lane" (TWLT) or "center left-turn lane", or (for countries that drive on the right) "center turn lane" or "median turn lane", a single lane in the center of the road into which traffic from both directions pulls to make a left turn. While this is sometimes also called a "suicide lane", it is actually far safer, as traffic collisions occur at far lower speeds." Re: Merging from center lane illegal?

I've seen drivers get into the center lane, drive slowly in the center lane up to a quarter block, and merge into traffic. BAD. I've even seen a driver speed up in the center lane to pass a slower car and move out of the center lane in front of the slower car...REAL BAD!! Re: Merging from center lane illegal?

I've seen drivers that and the same with islands designated by double yellow lines, unbroken on either side, as well as using them as two-way left-turn lanes. Line 20, press hard, three copies. |
