Suicide lane
A suicide lane is a center lane on a roadway seperating opposing directional movements that is used as a passing lane for both directions simultaneously. If one was not careful when pulling into the suicide lane to pass a slow moving vehicle, they might collide head on with another vehicle doing the same thing, but in the opposing direction. Hence, the term suicide lane. The term has been misapplied in recent years to a center lane where vehicles in either direction can make left turns. This is not historically accurate and true suicide lanes are very rare today.
The two drivers died from a head on collision in the suicide lane when each driver tried to pass slow moving vehicles.

suicide lane
A lane on a roadway that, depending upon the time of day, changes direction of travel. Sometimes, as in Snellville, Georgia, the direction of travel is noted by an electric sign every 200 feet hanging across the highway. Other times, as in parts of Maryland, there is nothing but a sign.
Example:
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
From 5am to noon, lanes 1, 2, 3, and 4 are Southbound, lane 5 is a turn lane, and lanes 6 and 7 are Northbound. From noon to 8pm, lanes 1 and 2 are Southbound, lane 3 is a turn lane, and lanes 4 through 7 are Northbound.

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.
This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
