As we all know, the left turn lane on the road is often set on the far left, but when we usually drive on the road, we will find that some intersections are set on the far right. Many people will ask why this is set up? What exactly does this setup do? Today Xiaobian will answer this question for you.
The reason why the left turn lane on the road is set on the far right is actually because the road turn radius is insufficient. The traditional left turn lane set on the far left can easily lead to some buses and large vehicles having insufficient radius when turning, so that they cannot pass the intersection smoothly, and there are certain safety hazards. However, after setting the left turn lane on the far right, the turning radius can be increased, so as to ensure that the vehicle makes a smooth turn and make a U-turn, which can greatly avoid the occurrence of accidents.
In addition to the purpose of increasing the turning radius, another very important reason for the left turn lane to be set on the far right is the implementation of refined traffic management. We usually describe this practice as turning left and right, and the effect of turning left/turning right lane is that when the upstream road is limited, there is a large amount of traffic flowing into the right turn at a distance, and when it is necessary to concentrate on turning left, you can avoid conflicts with straight-forward vehicles on the road. In general, left-turn vehicles that need to change lanes continuously will set up left-turn/U-turn right lanes to prevent traffic congestion.
So what do we do when we drive past a left-turn-right intersection? At the intersection where the "left turn right" is set up, there will generally be corresponding signs and signal lights to prompt us, and everyone just needs to drive according to the prompts of these signs and signal lights.
Since there are "left turn right" lanes on the road, of course there will definitely be "right turn left" lanes. Turning right and turning left is the same as turning left and right, if a large truck sets a turn according to the normal right turn lane, due to the lack of turning radius and poor visual distance, it is easy for an electric vehicle to go straight into an accident. After the reverse design, the driver can greatly optimize the right turn of the line of sight, so as to avoid the occurrence of traffic accidents.
But whether it's a left-right lane or a right-hand lane, we all have to pay attention to the following points when driving through these lanes to turn. First of all, we must slow down in advance when turning, if the speed is too fast when turning, it is easy to be dangerous.
Secondly, we learn to control the steering wheel when turning, which is also very important. If you want to make a small turn, you should try to hit the steering wheel to the end, and then slowly return to the right direction after turning the corner. If you want to make a big turn, you have to slowly hit the direction. In addition, we must learn to look at the rearview mirror when turning, especially pay attention to the dead corners of the turn, so as not to accidentally hit obstacles or stone piers on the side of the road. If you are driving around in bad weather, be sure to turn on the headlights and fog lights early, use the horn moderately to attract the attention of pedestrians and other vehicles, and be ready to brake and stop at any time.
Well, the above is all the knowledge today to explain, if you still have questions, you can leave a message in the comment area to ask questions.
