At present, the number of motor vehicles in China has exceeded 380 million units, the number of cars on the street is increasing, and the division of lanes on the road is more refined and intelligent. In 2019, China's large cities took the lead in emerging a variable lane, and in 2022, second- and third-tier small cities also added sawtooth lanes.
A sawtooth lane is a variable lane because the horizontal lines with spaced distributions inside the lane look like sawtooth, so they are called sawtooth lanes. Many owners in small second- and third-tier cities have never seen sawtooth lanes, nor do they understand what the use of sawtooth lanes is, and it is particularly easy to violate regulations when driving in lanes during rush hour.
The jagged lane generally refers to the fact that the straight lane and the turn lane can be switched back and forth, and a lane that should have been straight will adjust the direction of the car at any time at the specified time. During rush hour, the lane that was originally straight may be temporarily changed to a left turn lane, and the specific way to go requires the attention of the owner.
First, look at the signs above the driveway.
Signs are set up above the jagged lanes that can be changed, and lanes that should have gone straight may turn left within a specified period of time. When the owner walks to the intersection, he needs to observe the sign above the lane, and when the sign directs the left turn direction, even if the lane is a straight lane, the owner must also drive in the direction indicated on the sign.
Some car owners never look at the signs when driving on the road, the straight lane has temporarily changed to a left turn lane, the owner still chooses to go straight, and finally the owner is deducted three points for violating the sign, and the fine is 200 yuan.
Second, look at the signs on the side of the road.
There are also signs around the variable lanes that indicate the direction of travel of the lanes at different times. For example, every morning from 7:30 to 9:00, the original straight lane will temporarily turn left, and the direction of driving from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. will also change.
Some car owners did not pay attention to the signs on the side of the road, nor did they look at the time, the variable lane at 6:30 pm has changed the direction of travel, the owner is still driving in the previous direction, and eventually will be deducted points and fined for violating the no-go signs.
The role of the existence of variable lanes:
Variable lanes can maximize the utilization efficiency of intersections and rationally allocate travel directions. During the rush hour of commuting, the traffic flow is large, a left turn lane is no longer enough to meet the owner's left turn needs, at this time the addition of a left turn lane, will speed up the speed of the left turn vehicle, improve the traffic efficiency.
In 2022, there will be another dotted lane in China, which is composed of two parallel dotted lines and a dotted line. This lane will be adjusted according to the road conditions, the owner needs to drive according to the direction of the lane, do not go backwards.
Editor's Comments:
In the past, only the first-tier large cities in China had the problem of traffic jams, and now the second- and third-tier cities during the rush hour are also blocked, so the variable lanes will appear in small cities.
Many car owners have not seen the variable lane and have been deducted 12 points in just three days. I hope that this article can play a role in popularizing science for all car owners, and the next time you encounter a variable lane, you must make a prejudgment in advance, determine the direction of travel and then pass through the intersection. Have you ever seen such a variable lane?
