I'm in the UK, to be fair, but it is common here when doing roadworks on a motorway to close one side of the motorway and set up cones which guide traffic onto the other side to share the "wrong" side of the motorway lanes (divided by cones). When entering the roadworks area and switch to the other side, this necessarily means crossing boundaries, but indicating at this stage would be weird and nobody does it.
A relation of mine was renting a car with lane assist and it nearly drove him into the cones by way of refusal to cross the boundary (until it conceded control to the driver).
- WesolyKubeczek 3y agoRoadworks sort of temporarily change the layout of your lane. So as long as you keep inside whatever goes for the current lane, you don't need to indicate. But otherwise you do, since you temporarily go out of your lane. It's not about the line itself, it's signalling the maneuver and crossing the lane's boundary that does it. Sure, the lane centering systems don't know that cones change how the lane goes. They also don't know much about temporary lanes painted in yellow (in my country road works do this) and that they override the usual white lanes. Needless to say, one needs to increase their attention when driving through such things anyway, so I turn LTA and adaptive cruise control off and slow down. A wild road worker may suddenly appear in my way at any moment.
