What is the difference between a dogleg and a chicane?

A dogleg and chicane are both types of turns in a race track. A dogleg is a 90 degree turn that curves in one direction and then curves back in the opposite direction. A chicane is a series of alternating left and right turns, often with small straightaways in between. Both are used to slow down the cars and improve safety. Doglegs can also be used to create a more exciting track layout. Chicanes, however, are more frequently used on tracks where safety is of utmost importance.
