This layout is one of the most commonly used when data for speed or classification is needed. It is designed for typical two-lane roads with bi-directional
traffic.
Vehicles in the inside lane hit the A tune first, then the B tube and are recorded as Direction 1. Vehicles in the outside lane hit the B tube first, then the
A tube and are recorded as Direction 2.
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 L5 layout, if the road location allows a TRAX to be installed on each side of the road.
