In the UK and France, the +1 was available for use by traffic travelling in either direction. It sounds like in this case, they're talking about one side being allowed to use it for a spell, and then the other. Similar to the overtaking lanes provided here in NZ.
- jacquesm 12y agoThat's a better way. In France it was the closest thing to a state sponsored game of 'chicken' that I've ever seen.

- im3w1l 12y agoIn Sweden they are not just marked, but are physically demarcated with a guardrail.
- ZenoArrow 12y agoThat is an improvement I would like to see here too. My earlier comment was more to address the idea that the current third lane in the UK is some sort of free-for-all, which I don't agree with.
