THE "FREE" CHOICE OF TRAFFIC LANES

DIE "FREIE" WAHL DES FAHRSTREIFENS

A CRITICAL EXAMINATION IS MADE OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF ALLOWING FREE CHOICE OF TRAFFIC LANES, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RIGHT TURNS, IN SITUATIONS WHERE THERE ARE SEVERAL MARKED TRAFFIC LANES IN ONE DIRECTION, WHERE THERE IS TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROL AND IN BOUNDARY CASES. THE LEGAL POSITION IS COMPLICATED AND MAKES HIGH DEMANDS ON THE DRIVER. THE BASIC RULE OF PARAGRAPH 1 OF THE TRAFFIC REGULATIONS, THE ALLOWABILITY OF FREE CHOICE OF LANE, IS GENERALLY OVER-RIDDEN. THE SAVINGS IN TIME ARISING FROM REPEATED CHANGING OF LANES IS MINIMAL AND IS NOT WORTH THE RISK.
