Truck bypass

Truck bypass

In the U.S. state of California, a truck bypass is a separate ramp at an interchange that allows trucks to stay to the right of vehicles such as cars that can operate at higher speeds. It typically exits to the right side before a heavy merge and re-enters on the right after the merge. This eliminates weaving conflicts between trucks getting into the new right lane and cars moving left from the merging road. [San Bernardino Associated Governments, [http://www.sanbag.ca.gov/projects/interchange_devore.html Interstate 15/Interstate 215: Devore Interchange Reconstruction] , accessed February 2008] Cars are allowed to use the truck bypass, but trucks are not allowed in the car lanes.

There is also a roadway of this type at the Hillside Strangler, where I-88 merges with I-290 west of Chicago.
