Reverse movement on the road

Few people know that in the rules of the road there is such a thing as “a road with reverse motion”. Not all Russian car owners have experienced this phenomenon in practice. And because today the reverse movement is always present only on the roads of Moscow and St. Petersburg. However, no one driver will not hurt to become more familiar with this concept and with the way things are going on the road with reverse movement. Because increasingly, local authorities are starting to think about what is a good deal. The basic idea here is that with proper use of reverse traffic on the road can greatly reduce the time normally spent waiting in numerous traffic jams.

Roads with traffic of this type differ from conventional tracks a special reversible lanes. This roadways, the direction of which, if necessary, can be inverted. In this case, it all depends on the degree of loading of the road in either direction. Reverse movement is governed by special traffic signals that are installed directly above the lane.

To distinguish this band from all the others, it should be remembered that most of the roads with reversible movement have only one or two reversible lanes located in the center of the roadway. In addition, these lanes are always marked with special marking, which is a discontinuous double line. The length of the solid part of this line three times more than the interval between the strokes.

In addition, it is important to know that currently there are no special road signs to indicate that the road is reverse movement. A sign that stands for the road of this type is, but on what lines is the movement can be judged solely on the markup. Reversible traffic lanes does not represent and is only necessary to regulate the movement. This kind of movement is allowed in the case when the green light above the lane, and is prohibited when the red light signal.

As an example, the use of reverse motion can be considered pretty standard for any major city in the situation, when on Friday evening most of the cars moving out of town, and on Sunday evening most of the vehicles carries the movement, on the contrary, in the center of the metropolis. In the first case, the strip with reversing movement is to work towards “out of town”, and the second – “the city”. In addition, the example can be considered the familiar problem of traffic jams during "rush hours". In the morning the tube is often directed towards the centre, and in the evening – on the contrary. For such roads reverse movement is the only salvation, because it is here that it is best "survives", at times increasing road capacity and reducing the probability of formation of many kilometers of traffic jams. A very useful invention!
