A slip road is a separate road linking ordinary roads with motorways. The traffic using the slip road has to merge with traffic on the motorway.
A slip lane is a lane that allows traffic approaching a junction to avoid the junction by slipping off early. See refs. below.
Both are invoeger in Dutch (see p.g of first ref below).

person/car joining the traffic on the motorway
so it's not a lane, but a person or a vehicle using the entry lane

| Thanks Ron, this makes total sense except in the context I have, which I really should've included with the question. See my note to Lianne. What do you think? |

Ik weet het niet zeker, ik las het als een variant op invoegstrook. Misschien heb je hier wat aan:
http://www.cbrd.co.uk/reference/dictionary/
http://www.gratisrijbewijsonline.nl/definitieswet2.htm
"The merging lane forms an exit-only lane for Texas Farm to Market Road 1325 (Burnet Road) south and Duval Road west."

The wiki page on slip lanes gives a different description than the (excellent) illustration in Chris' pdf.
This is a description of a merging lane, which imo goes with the illustration:
"A merge lane is a lane or onramp used to merge two flows of traffic into one, with the merge lane being the lane that disappears at the end of the merging area. Merge lane lengths depend mainly on the speed differential of the two merging flows, as the slower flow has to use the lane to accelerate."

Note from asker:
| Thanks Lianne, I'm inclined to go with this one due to the context (which I should have included in the first place!!): Beklinkerde toe-en afrit vervangen door bitumen; Invoeger aanleggen conform standaard; Stroompunt en verlichting conform standaard. Can you confirm this? |
| Thanks Lianne, the illustration for Slip Lane had me a bit confused, too, but I think it's because it relates to what is mentioned in the text about Australia... where they drive on the wrong (I mean LEFT! as in, "not right"!) side of the road ;) If you read the illustration with that in mind, it makes more sense. Thanks for the extra info, though, I think "merging lane" is also a valid possibility for "invoeger" (for people reading this in the future). Cheers! |
