suicide lane
n.— «If you happen to be one of those drivers that tools down Ga. 85 in the center of Fayetteville, there is a lane smack in the middle of the road I refer to as “the suicide lane.”…I believe its purpose is to provide motorists in both directions a lane in which to make a left turn or right turn, depending on which direction you are driving and by doing so, helping the flow of traffic.» —“Fayette.Talk: The ’suicide lane'” by Abby Brunks Atlanta Journal-Constitution (Georgia) Sept. 17, 2007.
