Undertaking (driving) - Undertaking in Special Lanes

Undertaking in Special Lanes

Undertaking in special lanes is generally considered to be much more dangerous and is therefore almost always considered to be an offence. Most countries have the following rules:

  • Bus lanes - Generally if the vehicle undertaking is not a bus this would be forbidden.
  • Contraflow Bus lanes - Forbidden in all circumstances.
  • Hard shoulder - Forbidden in all circumstances.
  • HOV lanes - May be allowed if the vehicle in question meets the criteria for that lane and undertaking is not outlawed in that country.
  • Cycle lanes - Forbidden in most circumstances.

Famous quotes containing the words undertaking, special and/or lanes:

    Education is the point at which we decide whether we love our children enough not to expel them from our world and leave them to their own devices, not to strike from their hands their chance of undertaking something new—but to prepare them in advance for the task of renewing a common world.
    Hannah Arendt (20th century)

    Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different.
    William James (1842–1910)

    freeways fifty lanes wide
    on a concrete continent
    spaced with bland billboards
    illustrating imbecile illusions of happiness
    Lawrence Ferlinghetti (b. 1919)
