How is traffic configured on a two-way road with shoulders when a temporary additional lane is enabled?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

A temporary additional lane is a special measure to increase road capacity. It is used on two-way roads with sufficient width and usable shoulders. The technique involves utilizing both shoulders and the central part of the roadway to convert the original two lanes into three. Therefore, the correct answer is that two lanes are available in one direction and one in the other. Mandatory rules for driving in these lanes (including the central one and the side ones occupying the shoulder): Lighting: All vehicles must have their dipped headlights (low beam) on, both day and night. Speed: Maximum 80 km/h and minimum 60 km/h, unless otherwise signed. Signaling: It will be delimited by beaconing elements (cones, etc.). The other answers are incorrect because it is not merely 'driving on the shoulders' (the entire roadway is reconfigured), and the shoulders are not physically eliminated but functionally integrated into the traffic lanes.
