What is a "local-express lane system"?
A local-express lane system is a type of road layout where lanes are divided into two categories: local lanes and express lanes. Local lanes are for vehicles that need to access exits or enter local roads, while express lanes are for vehicles traveling long distances without needing to exit. This system allows faster-moving traffic to stay in the express lanes, reducing congestion in the local lanes and helping traffic flow more smoothly. Local-express lane systems are commonly found on busy highways or urban roads to improve efficiency and reduce delays.
Examples
