Well, I'm familiar with those - called the more-blunt "suicide lanes" in the US. What I'm talking about is NOT a dedicated lane; it's just going 3-wide on a 2-wide road, with 1 of the 3 going in the opposite direction.Aaaaah, you guys want to hear about the Coroner's Corridors...They used to be quite common, but there's only 6 or 7 left in the UK now (for some reason)...
Essentially it's a wide road with one lane of traffic in each direction. But in the middle there's a third lane, which may be used by overtaking vehicles in either direction. Imagine the fun you could have with that...![]()
Actually, in Philadelphia, that's used to increase the parking capacity of any given street by 25-50%.Yeah, we do that all over America in our cities, where there's a center lane, not for passing but for left turns, from either side. People use it as a merge lane, a passing lane, to cheat to get to the next light if they're actually turning left there, etc.
