We learn everyday. Science students and civil engineers why is this road designed like this in the middle of the forest? Is it for cars to pack and for passengers to pee? ![]() 22 Likes 6 Shares

Emergency. The single yellow line is a restricted lane, that's is, only some class of road users can drive there, eg, ambulance, fire fighter, police, brt(for states like Lagos), if you are not part of the lane users and you have to stop for anything (breakdown, relax, etc), you need to leave the highway, however, you can't drive on that lane with yellow markings, that's why that space is created with a dotted line so you can drive through. 348 Likes 21 Shares |

That's not a bus stop. It's an emergency stop zone. It's often found in major roads that do not have shoulder stopping/parking space. 4 Likes |

That's a layby, you have it on modern expressways, it's on the lagos-ibadan expressway too and is basically for a safe repair of minor unforseen issues like tyre change, overheating etc. ![]() ![]() ![]() Updated: Here in Lagos, the LASTMA, NTVA and their police support must not see you changing tires or waiting for an overheated car to cool, you'll get towed and made to pay some unwarranted penalty. I always wondered if they're given any other training apart from extortionate tendencies they all have (LASTMA, Police etc) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 5 Likes 1 Share |
