It seems to work well from Junction 10 (A3) onwards clockwise on the

M25.
In
general 4 lanes between junctions, three lanes through them.


And do "tortoise" vehicles have to keep changing lanes as they approach

and
leave each junction?


Have you never driven round the M25? Nobody "has" to do anything. The
overhead signs in advance of each junction clearly indicate that the
nearside lane is exit only from that point onwards. Depending on how far it
is between junctions, then vehicles may move to the nearside lane or stay in
the second lane. Between Junction 11 (Chertsey) and Junction 12 (M3) only
vehicles wanting to leave on the M3 are usually to be found in the nearside
lane, because it is a short distance. The advantage is that it gives
vehicles a much better chance of getting into the exit lane well in advance
of the junction, and stops much of the last-minute darting for the exit that
you find elsewhere.
