Hi, isnt the picture in the wiki clear ? A chicane needs more space or room, but has more effect on a driver since the vehicle needs to go left and right, at a choker you’ll be able to keep your speed at an undesirable high level if theres no opposing traffic. answered 09 Jun '13, 06:44 Hendrikklaas edited 09 Jun '13, 14:18 aseerel4c26 ♦ |
The chicane as two narrowing sections staggered and on alternate sides, that require a zig-zag to drive through. The choker as narrowing from both sides at same point. both intended to reduce traffic speed. answered 10 Jun '13, 16:28 andy mackey |
