Talk:Reversible lane

Adelaide
There's a reversible freeway in Adelaide, Australia, don't know it's name unfortunately :( — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.95.86.37 (talk) 04:42, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Hurricanes
Along the Atlantic coast, many highways convert all their lanes to go inland when a hurricane approaches. Is that a good example? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.83.146.63 (talk) 19:45, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Southern Expressway in Adelaide, South Australia, Longest?
The article claimed that this is the world's longest fully reversible road, at 21km. The Rodovia Anchieta highway in Brazil is fully reversible and it's longer. I'll change that claim. Please discuss if you think Rodovia Anchieta doesn't qualify. Klafubra 16:21, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Caldecott Tunnel along US Highway 24 in California
I listed the Caldecott Tunnel under the subsection entitled "Lane controls and physical separation by movable barrier", although it may be better categorized under "Third (reversible) carriageways on freeways". This tunnel has three separate bores, each providing two uni-directional lanes of traffic. The outermost two bores, #1 and #3, are dedicated to westbound and eastbound traffic, respectively, while the center bore, #2, shifts daily between westbound traffic in the morning and eastbound traffic in the evening. I invite others to make an informed decision regarding which category it best falls under. Dgstangel 03:57, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I've thrown it into "Third (reversible) carriageways on freeways," as that what I percieve it to be. Cheers for adding it, though. (AtD 12:31, 20 June 2006 (UTC))

Accidents "common" -- where's the source?
If accidents are/were common (mentioned twice here), then finding a reference to cite should be easy...

UK A102 Blackwall Tunnel tidal flow stopped
As per the header, the tidal flow has been stopped in that east London, England tunnel. I removed the entry from the article as there is no section for defunct counter flow systems. The original entry is as follows.


 * * The A102 Blackwall Tunnel - 2 x 2 lane tunnels, in the morning 3 lanes used for northbound (towards the city centre) traffic, 1 lane for southbound traffic, in the evening 2 lanes are provided in both directions. This counterflow system was permanently stopped on 20 April 2007 with reasons given as increased dangereous driver behavior.

See Blackwall Tunnel article for citations and references.--TGC55 (talk) 22:07, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Turn Lane (Two-Way Left Turn Lane)
This could use an image. I don't know how to code SVGs, but here is something that can be used to base it off of.--Metallurgist (talk) 04:18, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Too many examples
It would appear we have too many examples in our examples section, particularly in the section regarding the United States. Many of these illustrate the exact same kind of implementation, and could be trimmed. I believe the best way to go about pruning would be to go based on the way things are implemented. One or two examples about each way a country implements reversible lanes, and then continue on, in my opinion. SchuminWeb (Talk) 01:05, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Merge?
Why does this article exist and also Contraflow lane reversal?--Wehwalt (talk) 15:03, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Appropriate source question for the examples presented?
What is an appropriate source for a given example in this article? Would map data (Google Maps/...) suffice? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.48.140.73 (talk) 00:56, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

And...the answer is...
After some brief discussion on IRC with Rdsmith4, it appears that simply referring to the original design documentation for the road in question (it should be available through local libraries) would be sufficient to document any given example in this section. CC/GFDL map material can be placed in Commons and used; also, geohack may be helpful in this case.

SchuminWeb, does this help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by K1llaB1rd (talk • contribs) 02:57, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Reinsertion of Irrelevant Source Citation and Deleting Factual Statement
This article had a statement, "New Jersey Transit operates numerous interstate bus routes (100–199) as do numerous regional and long distance companies."

There was 1 cited source for that statement:

1. Cichowski, John, PA brainstorms for ideas to speed bus trips to N.Y.C., The Record, March 20, 2005

The cited Record article makes absolutely NO mention that NJ Transit operates interstate bus routes 100-199, as do numerous regional and long distance companies. It should be removed as a citation.

I had removed the Record citation on 3/2/13 and revised the original statement to more accurately state that:


 * New Jersey Transit operates numerous interstate bus routes through the Lincoln Tunnel, as do numerous regional and long distance companies.

The internally referenced Wikipedia articles provide readers with additional resources to verify this is an accurate statement.

I also added the statement below with an existing cited source below in the article.


 * "Over 100 bus carriers utilize the Exclusive Bus Lane"

I made these changes on 3/2/13 with the reasons noted below in my Edit Summary.


 * "deleted cited Record article, which does not mention anything about the cited statement. Added statement with cited reference, which was deleted for no legitimate reason, about number of carriers that use XBL"

Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 haneʼ undid my change without any explanation.

If Alansohn (talk), who undid the original changes, wants to Undo my changes that provided additional information with value to the article and deleted an irrelevant source citation that is already covered by internal Wikipedia articles, Alansohn (talk) needs to explain why my edits should be undone for consensus review by users of this page. Any additional feedback from Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 haneʼ would be welcomed. Wondering55 (talk) 21:22, 6 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I will update the article based on Alansohn's acceptance of these changes based on my explanation. See Alansohn response at Teahouse/Questions.Wondering55 (talk) 14:35, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Two-way turn lane: description wrong way round?
''Another type of center two-way lane is a "two-way left turn lane" (TWLT) or "center left-turn lane", or (for countries that drive on the right) "center turn lane" or "median turn lane", a single lane in the center of the road into which traffic from both directions pulls to make a left turn. '' If this is what I think it is, isn't this description reversed? (Assuming you drive on the left), you pull into the centre lane to turn right. (To make a left turn, you just turn left, without needing to use the centre lane). Iapetus (talk) 09:55, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
