Additional lane

Additional lane: what it means

Sign GS211, GS201, GS202, GS210, GS212, GS214

What it means

A diagram tells you that the number of lanes of the road you are travelling on will be increased soon. Opposing traffic flow (traffic coming towards you) is shown by a dotted arrow.

What you must do

Make sure in time that there is a big enough gap in the traffic to merge with the traffic. Also yield (give way) to other traffic which might merge.

Remember

More lanes soon. The dotted arrow is opposing traffic.
