Grèce
1. Embouteillage
Un embouteillage est une situation dans laquelle la circulation devient fortement congestionnée et les véhicules avancent très lentement ou restent arrêtés pendant de longues périodes. Les embouteillages sont souvent causés par un trafic important, des accidents, des travaux, des fermetures de voies ou de mauvaises conditions météorologiques. Les conducteurs doivent rester patients, maintenir une distance de sécurité, éviter les changements de voie inutiles et surveiller les motos, véhicules d’urgence et freinages soudains. Lorsque des voies fusionnent en cas de congestion, les règles locales peuvent imposer une insertion en fermeture éclair.
What is a traffic jam?
A traffic jam occurs when traffic becomes congested and vehicles move slowly or remain stationary because the road cannot accommodate the normal flow of traffic.
What causes traffic jams?
Common causes include heavy traffic, accidents, roadworks, lane closures, bottlenecks and poor weather.
How should you drive in a traffic jam?
Keep a safe distance, avoid sudden braking and unnecessary lane changes, and remain alert for changing traffic conditions and emergency vehicles.
Should you change lanes frequently in a traffic jam?
Usually not. Frequent lane changes can disrupt traffic flow and increase the risk of collisions. Change lanes only when necessary and safe.
What is zipper merging?
Zipper merging is a system where drivers use all available lanes until a lane ends or becomes blocked and then merge alternately into the remaining lane.
Should you leave space for emergency vehicles in a traffic jam?
Yes. Many countries require or recommend drivers to create space for emergency vehicles when traffic becomes congested or stationary.
