4 METHODS

In meeting the objectives set out in section 1 the following are among the methods which may be used:

.1  The separation of opposing streams of traffic by separation zones, or lines where zones are not possible

Figure 1  Traffic separation by separation zone and line

In this method, streams of traffic proceeding in opposite or nearly opposite directions are separated by separation zones (4) or lines (3); the use of zones LS to be preferred, but in narrow passages and restricted waters it may be necessary to use a separation line rather than a zone so as to allow more navigable space in the traffic lanes. A length of separation line may also be substituted for a zone in positions where this may encourage and facilitate correct procedures by crossing traffic. The outside limits (6) of such traffic separation schemes are the outer boundaries of the traffic lanes. The arrows (1) indicate the established direction of traffic flow.
