Everything

Science students and civil engineers why is this road designed like this in the middle of the forest?

Is it for cars to pack and for passengers to pee?

If your vehicle breaks down, the wider portion is for you to park and attend to your car without disrupting traffic.

It is called lay-by A section of the road where drivers can pull up. It's on all Nigerian major highways and other countries world wide

Fish 🧠

successmatters:
I think i know the reason.

It's designed like that so that police or army checkpoints will have space by the side to park people's cars and make demands on them, or delay them on the road parks till they complied.

Emergency lane.. breakdown lane, service lane.

is a simple something na. the broken yellow line means you can now cross lanes from the inner lanes to park in there for respite and emergency that has been hooking you since eg urinating inside those bushes

That for stop and pick up or park

service lane

Stopover

The road is designed that way to clear off the busy road for pick ups and drop offs without causing obstruction. Its also meant for check ups on your car and to take or make calls

If this was to be in Lagos, Nigeria, it's for dropping and picking passengers and agbero can give them tickets for loading

It's called a drop off zone

Its called either a Refuge or a shoulder it's for parking one's car in case of an Emergency.

For Dropoffs

I think it's to make the road more wide most especially in emergency periods

OlujobaSamuel:
Emergency. The single yellow line is a restricted lane, that's is, only some class of road users can drive there, eg, ambulance, fire fighter, police, brt(for states like Lagos), if you are not part of the lane users and you have to stop for anything (breakdown, relax, etc), you need to leave the highway, however, you can't drive on that lane with yellow markings, that's why that space is created with a dotted line so you can drive through.

The only reasonable comment here. Unfortunately, our roads in Nigeria have no emergency lanes. Even where they were mistakenly considered, taxis, danfo, okada, and one way drivers would invade the lanes. Research shows that half of accident victims in Lagos die on their way to hospitals due to human-caused traffic jams.

you do carryam from where it spoiled to this point where you see a mechanic standing

Wolexyoshi:


Road construction are done by Civil Engineers who are science students as well. I hope you have learn that today on NL.

How about we ask Medical science students since they are also science students? You are dumb, yet trying to prove someone else as dumb. Do you think you quoted doesn't know that Civil engineers are science students?

For emergency stop over without obstructing the flow of traffic .

This should be the correct reason

chicfarmer:
It's a Lay-by. It's provided at intervals in case road users need to pull over for whatever reasons without obstructing traffic.

ivolt:

Let us take it further and ask "humans" the same question since Civil Engineers are also humans.

No, I think living things will suffice better since civil engineers are also living things
So this question should be asked to a tree or a virus

They are bus-stops

So you and the people who liked what you posted. So you don know what real bus-stops looks like huh!
You have never traveled out of Nigeria b4?

Civil Engineer here. So believe me when I tell you it's called a highway turnout (atleast in the U.S). It can be used for several functions such as rest areas, emergency stops, bus stops and drop off points, storing maintenance vehicles and equipment. It's primarily so that the through traffic is unobstructed when carrying out these functions.

ANIMABIDR:


Why is the emergency just in one place ?

That means you have to drive to emergency to get an emergency?

That road is narrow and you cant afford to park anyhow so the emergency shoulders where one can safely park in case of deflated tyres, mechanical faults or wanting to take a break or ease oneself.

This road is in the Sad East, it was designed for interception of UGM

youngrichnigga:
That's a layby, you have it on modern expressways, it's on the lagos-ibadan expressway too and is basically for a safe repair of minor unforseen issues like tyre change, overheating etc.

On point! U sabi!

Isn't that layby.

That's bus stop

Service lane
