When entering a temporary contraflow system, it’s important to adhere to specific guidelines to ensure safety:
- Reduce speed in good time: Begin slowing down well before entering the contraflow section to adjust to the reduced speed limits and potential changes in traffic flow.
- Choose an appropriate lane in good time: Anticipate lane changes and select the appropriate lane early to smoothly transition into the contraflow arrangement. Follow signage and lane markings to guide your lane selection.
- Keep the correct separation distance: Maintain a safe distance between your vehicle and others, especially since you may be traveling in narrow lanes close to oncoming traffic. This distance allows for better reaction time and reduces the risk of collisions.
Adhering to these guidelines helps ensure smooth and safe navigation through temporary contraflow systems, promoting overall traffic flow and minimizing the risk of accidents.
