Some roads in Beijing have begun setting up special lanes for the 2022 Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games since Friday, equipped with dedicated lane signs, local transport authorities said.

The lanes for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics have not been officially launched and they can be used by cars and vehicles by this time, the traffic management authority from the capital city said.

The reserved lanes for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics are composed of specialized lane markings and supporting identification signals. Two types of paintings were used to make the lanes identifiable.

There will be 20 urban roads especially for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games. Construction will be completed by end of November in Beijing, with 185 sets of dedicated lane signs and 73 sets of indication marks, the Beijing traffic management authorities said.

A variety of reminder marks will be installed to ensure the smooth running of the specialized lanes. A notice board is set to be built 200 meters ahead of the entrance to the fast road, according to transport authorities.
