## WHAT ARE AUXILIARY LANES?

An auxiliary lane allows you to travel from one entrance ramp to the next exit ramp without entering the main flow of traffic.

## AUXILIARY LANE BENEFITS

<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="imgs/img_in_image_box_2755_2725_2939_2922.jpg" alt="Image" width="3%" /></div>


Smoother merging: Gives entering and exiting drivers more room to adjust their speed and merge.

<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="imgs/img_in_image_box_2756_3001_2933_3163.jpg" alt="Image" width="3%" /></div>


Better traffic flow: Helps keep through traffic moving by separating some merging and exiting movements from the main travel lanes.

<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="imgs/img_in_image_box_3900_2730_4076_2924.jpg" alt="Image" width="3%" /></div>
