Lane control lights are a specific type of traffic light used to manage traffic on a multi-way road or highway. Typically they allow or forbid traffic to use one or more of the available lanes by the use of Green lights or arrows (to permit) or by red lights or crosses (to prohibit). When used, they are usually repeated at regular distances to provide a continuous reminder of the lane status to drivers.

  • Lane control lights are a specific type of traffic light used to manage traffic on a multi-way road or highway. Typically they allow or forbid traffic to use one or more of the available lanes by the use of Green lights or arrows (to permit) or by red lights or crosses (to prohibit). When used, they are usually repeated at regular distances to provide a continuous reminder of the lane status to drivers. On certain multiple-lane highways, one or more lanes may be designated as counterflow lanes, meaning that the direction of traffic in those lanes can be reversed at any time (see also reversible lane). Sometimes this is done as a way of managing rush hour traffic (one or more central lanes may flow inbound in the morning and outbound in the evening); in other cases the lanes are reversed only in unusual circumstances (such as a traffic accident or road construction closing one or more of the lanes). Lane control signals around the world follow their own universal pattern, as specified in the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals. Typical signals include a green downward arrow, used to indicate a lane which is open to traffic facing the signal, a red cross, which indicates a lane is either reserved for opposing traffic or closed to traffic in both directions, and a flashing amber circle, arrow or cross, indicating to traffic facing the signal to immediately clear the lane. Unlike regular traffic lights, lane control signals either have one face each to indicate all lane conditions (the so-called "searchlight" configuration), or separate faces for each condition (as illustrated). Lane control signals of the latter type are usually placed horizontally. Signals that may indicate other conditions for roads without counterflow lanes also exist, such as those that indicate different speed limits for different lanes. (en)
  • Lane control is een systeem met verkeerslichten (matrixborden) waarbij het verkeer op elke rijstrook apart geregeld wordt. Het systeem wordt vooral gebruik op autosnelwegen. De lampen bevinden zich op een portaal boven de rijbaan.Staat er een rood kruis boven de rijstrook, dan kan men verwachten dat men spoedig een obstakel zal passeren. De rijstrook is echter nog niet vrij nadat men een obstakel is gepasseerd, want er kunnen nog meer obstakels volgen. De rijstrook is pas weer vrij als er geen rood kruis boven staat. Lane control wordt gebruikt bij ongevallen en wegwerkzaamheden. Doet zich een calamiteit voor, bijvoorbeeld doordat een auto lading verliest, dan zal men het alarmnummer (112) bellen. Er wordt dan, in afwachting van de hulpdiensten, direct voor gezorgd dat de geblokkeerde rijstrook wordt "afgekruist". Lane control moet niet worden verward met gewone verkeerslichten, zoals men op knooppunten aantreft. Het is namelijk niet de bedoeling dat er voor het rode kruis wordt gestopt en men kan niet verwachten dat het rode kruis binnen luttele minuten zal verdwijnen. (nl)
  • Le lanterne semaforiche per corsie reversibili sono, secondo l'articolo 41 del Codice della strada italiano, i segnali luminosi utilizzati per regolare la reversibilità delle corsie. Ai sensi dell'articolo 164 del Regolamento di Attuazione del Codice della Strada queste lanterne possono essere utilizzate per: * consentire la reversibilità del senso di marcia su determinate corsie di una carreggiata suddivisa in tre o più corsie (utilizzabili ad esempio nelle rare superstrade a tre corsie) * regolare i varchi delle barriere di pedaggio autostradali. Queste lanterne vengono usualmente collocate anche negli accessi delle gallerie autostradali o delle superstrade e per regolare l'utilizzo delle terza corsia dinamica (presenti ad esempio nella tangenziale di Mestre). Non vengono quindi utilizzate per regolare la reversibilità delle corsie ma per segnalare l'apertura o la chiusura (a causa di ostacoli presenti lungo la corsia o per la regolazione dei flussi veicolari) delle corsie. Le lanterne semaforiche devono essere collocate sopra ciascuna corsia della carreggiata e devono visualizzare uno dei seguenti simboli: * freccia verde a luce fissa con la punta diretta verso il basso; * freccia gialla lampeggiante con la punta diretta verso il basso ma inclinata di 45° verso destra o verso sinistra; * x rossa fissa. con i seguenti rispettivi significati: * la corsia è percorribile; * la corsia deve essere abbandonata a favore della corsia indicata dalla freccia; * la corsia non è percorribile.
