When going through a contraflow system on a motorway, the key steps to take are:
- Get into the correct lane well in advance as indicated by road signs.
- Stay in this lane throughout the contraflow and do not attempt to overtake.
- Drive carefully and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
- Follow any temporary reduced speed limits.
- Be alert for narrower lanes, closer oncoming traffic separated only by cones or barriers, and potential hazards like broken-down vehicles or debris.
- Remember that the hard shoulder may be out of use, so be extra cautious.
Essentially, drive cautiously, observe all signage, stay in your lane, and keep a safe speed and distance during the contraflow system on the motorway.
