Highway
Question: Based on the Module of Highway Terminology, where does the incident takes place? (Mention the name of the specific area)
Three-lane highway incident on Lane 2. Lane 1 and 2 Closed.
Notice that in this figure after the taper for the first lane closure we provide a segment in order to allow vehicles to maneuver safely and after that segment then you have the other taper for the realignment of the traffic flow. This means that you can not close two consecutives lanes without providing a median space between the two lanes for better, and safely maneuver of the oncoming traffic.
