1. Reversible lane

A reversible lane is a traffic lane that changes direction depending on traffic needs. These lanes are used to manage congestion by allowing more lanes for high-traffic directions during peak hours.

  • Direction changes at different times of the day.
  • Controlled by signals or overhead signs (e.g., green arrow for open, red X for closed).
  • Often used on bridges, tunnels, or highways with heavy commuter traffic.
  • May have physical barriers, movable medians, or just road markings to separate traffic.
