Lane
(Redirected from Laned)
Lane is a term used in various contexts, often to denote a narrow road or path. In the context of traffic management, a lane is part of a roadway that is designated for use by a single line of vehicles to control and guide drivers and reduce traffic conflicts.
Overview[edit | edit source]
A lane is a part of the roadway within a road. Under the direction of traffic control devices, vehicles travel within the lane to reach their destinations. Lanes are typically separated by road markings.
Types of Lanes[edit | edit source]
There are several types of lanes, each serving a specific purpose. These include:
- Driving Lanes: These are the lanes where the majority of vehicles travel. They are typically located in the center of the roadway.
- Passing Lanes: These lanes are typically located on the left side of the roadway and are used by vehicles to overtake slower vehicles in the driving lane.
- Turn Lanes: These lanes are designated for vehicles making a turn off the roadway. They are typically marked with arrows indicating the direction of the turn.
- Bicycle Lanes: These lanes are designated for bicycles. They are typically marked with a bicycle symbol and/or the word "BIKE LANE".
- Bus Lanes: These lanes are designated for buses. They are typically marked with the word "BUS LANE".
- High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Lanes: These lanes are designated for vehicles with a minimum number of occupants, typically two or three. They are designed to encourage carpooling and reduce traffic congestion.
