When driving in the half lane with traffic in both directions, it’s important to be mindful of your surroundings and follow these guidelines to ensure safety:
1. Stay Alert: Keep an eye on direct oncoming traffic and always look it the mounted mirrors to see further.
2. Yielding: If you are driving in the half lane and you see an oncoming vehicle, whoever is closer or easier, please should pull over into the pre-determined recess areas or any empty stall. This allows one vehicle to pass safely. You or the other vehicle may have to reverse if you are in one of the two ramps 4th floor to lower 5th and to upper 5th.
3. Signal Your Intentions: Use your turn signals to indicate that you are yielding and moving over, so other driver(s) understand your actions.
4. Move Slowly: If you are yielding, do so slowly and carefully into the recessed area, ensuring that you don’t endanger yourself or others.
5. Wait for Clearance: If there is no recess area, like right before the 4th floor ramp going into the lower 5th parking, you may need to wait until the oncoming vehicle has passed before continuing.
6. Be Considerate: If you notice the other driver with difficulties, please don’t hesitate to yield to allow their passage.
7. Practice Patience: Sometimes, the best course of action is to wait for a safe opportunity to proceed without rushing.
By following these practices, drivers can help maintain safety and efficiency during the project.
