Figure 3B-26. Examples of Markings for Preferential Lanes (Sheet 1 of 2)
This figure illustrates five examples of markings for preferential lanes. The figure is composed of two sheets.
The figure shows examples of five vertical highways. Arrows show that for all five examples the direction of travel for all lanes is northbound. All examples are shown as lanes to the right of a barrier, median, or centerline. All examples show a solid yellow line on the left edge of the roadway, a solid white line on the right edge of the roadway, and a broken white line separating non-preferential lanes of through traffic. A legend shows a black arrow indicating the direction of travel in the lanes and double asterisks denoting an applicable symbol or word.
- Sheet 1 of the figure shows three examples, (a), (b), and (c):
- Example (a) shows physically separated permanent lane(s). Two preferential lanes are shown to the right of a barrier or median. A double asterisk denoting an applicable symbol or word is shown in the center of each of the two lanes. The solid yellow line on the left edge of the roadway is noted as ""Yellow (or white if reversible)."
- Example (b) shows full-time concurrent lane(s) where enter/exit movements are prohibited. One preferential lane is shown as the leftmost lane of a total of four lanes on the roadway. A double asterisk denoting an applicable symbol or word is shown in the center of this lane. It is separated from the adjacent non-preferential lane by a double solid wide white line. The solid yellow line on the left edge of the roadway is noted as "Double yellow if centerline of 2-way roadway."
- Example (c) shows concurrent lane(s) where enter/exit movements are discouraged. One preferential lane is shown as the leftmost lane of a total of four lanes on the roadway. A double asterisk denoting an applicable symbol or word is shown in the center of this lane. It is separated from the adjacent non-preferential lane by a single solid wide white line. The solid yellow line on the left edge of the roadway is noted as "Double yellow if centerline of 2-way roadway."
