Pwettylinda: If your vehicle breaks down, the wider portion is for you to park and attend to your car without disrupting traffic. |

is a simple something na. the broken yellow line means you can now cross lanes from the inner lanes to park in there for respite and emergency that has been hooking you since eg urinating inside those bushes |

The road is designed that way to clear off the busy road for pick ups and drop offs without causing obstruction. Its also meant for check ups on your car and to take or make calls |

If this was to be in Lagos, Nigeria, it's for dropping and picking passengers and agbero can give them tickets for loading |

Pwettylinda: For Dropoffs |

I think it's to make the road more wide most especially in emergency periods |

OlujobaSamuel: The only reasonable comment here. Unfortunately, our roads in Nigeria have no emergency lanes. Even where they were mistakenly considered, taxis, danfo, okada, and one way drivers would invade the lanes. Research shows that half of accident victims in Lagos die on their way to hospitals due to human-caused traffic jams. |

Civil Engineer here. So believe me when I tell you it's called a highway turnout (atleast in the U.S). It can be used for several functions such as rest areas, emergency stops, bus stops and drop off points, storing maintenance vehicles and equipment. It's primarily so that the through traffic is unobstructed when carrying out these functions. |

ANIMABIDR: That road is narrow and you cant afford to park anyhow so the emergency shoulders where one can safely park in case of deflated tyres, mechanical faults or wanting to take a break or ease oneself. |
