Five lane roadways?

Question

if you are coming out of a house, or something, can you enter the middle lane and then merge/enter the traffic on the right? can you tell me the only reason for the middle lane for a five lane road?

Answer 1

Yes you can, unless there is no traffic going in the direction your headed I enter the lane next to the middle lane and continue on my way without even stopping in the middle lane.  I really think that is the reason for a 5 lane road, to use it as a turning point, otherwise traffic would slow down tremendously if you had to stop every few feet to wait behind someone who is turning.  I don't know where you're from but here in Phoenix, Arizona from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., I think its 8 a.m. its used as an actual driving lane going north so you cannot use it like you normally would & in the evening from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. its used as a third lane going south.

Answer 2

To make a turn onto the opposite side of the road safely. Thats why its called the suicide lane

Answer 3

In the state of Texas that middle lane is only for...

1) Vehicles making a left turn from the main roadway into a location (house, another street, shopping center, etc).

2) Vehicles departing a location needing to merge into traffic after making a left across the main roadway. Ex: depart shopping center on southbound side, make left to go north.

This lane is NOT to be used for driving or passing.

Answer 4

Maybe its an emergency lane?
