This layout is mainly used for recording traffic volumes on two lanes of traffic, where data must be recorded for each individual lane.
Vehicles in the inner lane hit the A tube followed by the B tube, but their hits on the B tube are not counted since they were immediately preceded by a
hit on the A tube. Vehicles in the outer lane hit the B tube followed by the A tube, but their hits on the A tube are not counted since they were
immediately preceded by a hit on the B tube.
With this layout, you sacrifice some accuracy for the convenience of only having to use one TRAX to record two lanes of data. For greater accuracy,
record each lane separately using an L4 layout, if the road location allows a TRAX to be installed on each side of the road.
