Contraflow lane reversal refers to plans that alter the normal flow of traffic, typically on a controlled-access highway, to either aid in an emergency evacuation (the most common usage of the term in the United States) or, as part of routine maintenance activities, to facilitate widening or reconstruction of one of the highway's carriageways (the most common usage in the United Kingdom).

dbpprop:abstract
  • Contraflow lane reversal refers to plans that alter the normal flow of traffic, typically on a controlled-access highway, to either aid in an emergency evacuation (the most common usage of the term in the United States) or, as part of routine maintenance activities, to facilitate widening or reconstruction of one of the highway's carriageways (the most common usage in the United Kingdom). Usually, the term is used to refer to reversal of lanes which are normally configured for travel in one direction; changing the configuration of reversible lanes (such as during rush hour) is not normally considered contraflow lane reversal. On some roads, contraflow lane reversal is routinely implemented for peak-hour traffic relief.
