What is a "climbing lane"?
A climbing lane is a lane on a road or highway designed to help slower vehicles, such as trucks, move uphill more easily. This lane is typically added on steep roads or inclines where vehicles may struggle to maintain speed. It provides extra space for slower-moving traffic to allow faster vehicles to pass without causing delays or congestion. The climbing lane helps improve safety and traffic flow, especially on roads with significant elevation changes.
Example
The highway has a climbing lane that allows trucks to ascend the steep hill without slowing down other vehicles.
Drivers appreciate climbing lanes because they reduce congestion during peak travel times.
When approaching a climbing lane, motorists should check for merging vehicles to ensure safe lane changes.
