You’re travelling along a motorway. Where would you find a crawler or climbing lane?

A: On a steep gradient

B: Before a service area

Hint

Large, slow-moving vehicles can hinder the progress of other traffic. On a steep gradient, an extra crawler lane may be provided for slow-moving vehicles to allow faster-moving traffic to flow more easily.
