Climbing Lane
In hilly terrain, some standard highways (not dual carriageway) are built with three lanes, known as the "Climbing" or "Crawler Lane". Two lanes are used for traffic heading in the uphill direction, with one lane being a passing or climbing lane, and one lane is used for downhill traffic. On dual carriageways, the climbing lane may be marked with a broken double white line.
