WHAT DOES CRAWLER LANE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Climbing lane

Climbing lanes are a roadway lane design typically used on Interstate highways. They allow slower travel for large vehicles, such as large trucks or Semi-trailer trucks, ascending a steep grade. Since climbing uphill is difficult for these vehicles, they can travel in the climbing lane without slowing traffic. On major routes, such as motorways in the UK, the climbing lane is also referred to as a crawler lane. A variation that has become common with newer roads and more recent widening schemes is to add an additional "fast" lane for the stretch which otherwise would have had a crawler lane. This allows underpowered vehicles to remain in the existing "slow" lane without having to purposely pull left into the "slow" lane, or having to try to merge back into faster traffic when it ends. Instead, the more normal requirement to purposely pull out to pass slower vehicles, and back in after doing so or when the lane ends, generally with a smaller speed differential, is placed on faster drivers. On normally 2-lane roads without a divider, the climbing lane effectively creates a bi-directional central passing lane of the original uphill running lane.
