acceleration lane

Further, it will add a ramp that will have an acceleration lane.

He was dreading the prospect of getting up speed to merge without an acceleration lane.

There is plenty of room right now for a handsome acceleration lane by filling in the 80 yards of unsightly gravel alongside the parkway.

It would largely use present acceleration lanes and shoulders, instead of extending 70 to 80 feet from the sides of the expressway, as had been planned.

The accident occurred adjacent to a rest area, but it was more than full, with a line of trucks parked on the shoulder of the acceleration lane.

The entrance ramp acceleration lane and the exit ramp deceleration lanes were lengthened to form a continuous lane between both ramps.

Janet Schnaars's backyard abuts state-owned land along the parkway where the Transportation Department is enlarging an acceleration lane.

In improving an exit ramp here, or lengthening an acceleration lane there, officials say, they are required by state and federal law to mitigate any impacts, including noise, if possible.

"This is such an unforgiving highway - no shoulders, no acceleration lanes, no good alternate routes, illegible signs," Schwartz said as we went under a long overpass.

Motorists sometimes cite discomfort due to the speed differential, a known cause of accidents, though conflicts could be reduced through the provision of an adequate acceleration lane and merge area.

Now under way, with completion scheduled for 1992, the project includes creating shoulders and acceleration lanes, installing concrete dividers, and eliminating sharp curves and trees next to the roadway.

While autopistas are generally new routes, autovías are normally improvements to existing roads, so they may have tighter curves and less safe accesses, often with shorter acceleration lanes.

Along with the widening of NJ 169 to four lanes, this also involved getting acceleration lanes on NJ 185 for drivers heading towards Upper New York Bay.

Although parts have been modernized and extended since, significant sections remained in their original condition from the 1930s - 2+2 lanes, no emergency or acceleration lanes, steep hills and tight curves.

An auxiliary lane along a highway or motorway connects slip roads, with the entrance ramp or acceleration lane from one interchange leading to the exit ramp or deceleration lane of the next.

A complex motion of hands and head brought the ship up and around the curve of the planet, another gesture steadied them both, then fired the jets that brought the ship into line with the entrance to the acceleration lane.

The acceleration lanes are too short, the entrance ramps curve too abruptly and the wide separation between portions of the northbound and southbound lanes leaves few visual clues to indicate if you are traveling in the right direction.

Ramp "B", from southbound (Boston bound) bridge lanes to eastbound Storrow Drive, caused traffic to merge onto Storrow Drive from the left (high speed) lanes using a short acceleration lane, causing safety issues.

Other upgrades, such as an acceleration lane from Stewartstown Road, and a new left-turn lane onto Stewartstown Road were also added, alone with new stoplights to accommodate the new Suncrest Towne Center.

The lack of a third lane or shoulders on the bridge, as well as a lack of acceleration lanes from entrances on either side of the bridge, created traffic bottlenecks exacerbated by heavy truck traffic on the ramps leading to the bridge.

Although there are a total of 14 lanes of traffic on the four bridges, there are only 12 through lanes that cross Yonge Street, as the off-ramps and on-ramps default onto the main lanes instead of being additional deceleration and acceleration lanes.

The Daytona SportBike that runs the Daytona 200 however, uses the main road course except for the motorcycle Pedro Rodríguez Hairpin (tighter than the one used for cars; the car version is used as an acceleration lane for motorcycles).

The acceleration lane was created by the positions of the other planets in Persephone's system; if she didn't want to run the risk of colliding with another outbound starship, her only other choice would be to accelerate perpendicular to the plane of the system, and that created problems of its own.

According to Mr. Peterec, the 64 intersections chosen for ramp lights are those at which the ramp is deemed safe and appropriate, that is, the acceleration lane is long enough to permit entry at a safe speed and there is enough room in back of the light to accommodate cars.

In the opposite direction, westbound traffic on West Church Street and traffic which turns from US 51 to go west on LA 3260 must stop at US 190; a 1980s attempt to let a yield sign suffice resulted in accidents, and the state did not want to appropriate money for an acceleration lane.
