A lane change device is a type of traffic signal that is used to control traffic flow on congested roads. During off-peak traffic hours, the lane change device allows vehicles to travel in both directions on a single roadway. During peak traffic hours, the lane change device can divide the roadway into two lanes of travel.
How does it work?
The lane change device consists of a series of illuminated signs that indicate the direction of traffic. During off-peak hours, the signs are illuminated to allow travel in both directions. During peak traffic hours, the signs are illuminated to allow travel in only one direction. The lane change device is also equipped with sensors that detect the presence of vehicles. This allows the device to automatically adjust the traffic signals based on the traffic conditions.
Benefits
Lane change devices can improve traffic flow and reduce congestion on congested roads. They can also improve safety by reducing the number of lane changes that are made by drivers.
Drawbacks
Lane change devices can be expensive to install and maintain. They can also be difficult to understand for some drivers.
