... On an interstate? What situation are you trying to describe here.
- a3n 8y agoAny road that fits the situation I described. Not all driving is on interstates. Many US, state and county highways are two lane blacktops; as a truck driver I drive them often. Not every town is near an interstate.
- Piskvorrr 8y agoEmergency crossover lanes are actually quite common, but rarely used (and due to this, not even mapped). Such as this (not US, but first one that came to my mind): https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/353606400#map=17/50.03606/14.49237 https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/353606400#map=17/50.03606/... You arrive from the northwesternmost link, the outer lanes south are blocked, so police opens up the service link (which is normally physically closed by a barrier and correctly mapped as "no access") and routes the traffic through it, into the inner lanes. Now you also have an indecisive truck sitting in the mess, waiting for a human to intervene.
- ApolloFortyNine 8y agoIn America we have a breakdown lane on every interstate, meant specifically for disabled cars. And interstates are what we're talking about here.
