Re: [OSM-talk] What does this symbol mean?
It's typical for American highways' "rush lanes" to have a number of lift gates in a row. As Nathan noted, the gates are to lanes that are one way to one direction in the morning and another in the evening -- and that are in the middle of the road. The greater number of gates serve the purpose of pointing out even to the most asleep SUV driver that they are hitting something that they are not supposed to when trying to go against the flow. It's obviously also a good thing for the gate manufacturers, so I wouldn't be surprised if they had lobbied for the "standard" ;) Cheers, -Jaakko On Sat, Aug 6, 2011 at 5:48 AM, M∡rtin Koppenhoefer wrote: > 2011/8/6 Nathan Edgars II : > >> There is 7 lift gates, one after the other, on a motorway? > > > > It's a ramp to a reversible lane that's only open at certain times of the > > day.
