Gethin sees a sign on the motorway giving advance notice of a “crawler” lane. What should he expect?

Explanation: • A section of roadworks with heavy plant occupying one lane: No - this is not what a crawler lane is.
• A steep downhill section of motorway: No - more likely the opposite.
• That the left hand lane will only be for use by trucks and buses: No, any slow moving vehicle would be expected to use this lane.
• A steep uphill section of motorway, with the left-hand lane being used by very slow moving traffic: Yes, a "crawler" lane will be put in to aid traffic flow which otherwise may be restricted by slow moving traffic climbing a gradient.
