Wikipedia

  1. one-way street

    One-way traffic (or uni-directional traffic) is traffic that moves in a single direction. A one-way street is a street either facilitating only one-way traffic, or designed to direct vehicles to move in one direction. One-way streets typically result in higher traffic flow as drivers may avoid encountering oncoming traffic or turns through oncoming traffic. Residents may dislike one-way streets due to the circuitous route required to get to a specific destination, and the potential for higher speeds adversely affecting pedestrian safety. Some studies even challenge the original motivation for one-way streets, in that the circuitous routes negate the claimed higher speeds.

  1. one-way street

    A one-way street is a type of road or street that allows vehicles to travel in only one direction, reducing the potential for head-on collisions. It's often used in dense urban areas to control traffic flow. This may be indicated by signs or markings on the road. Turning and passing rules on a one-way street differ from those on traditional two-way streets.
