How wide is a typical lane?
1 Answers
A typical lane is generally 2.8 to 3.75 meters wide, with variations depending on road conditions. Below are the detailed specifications: 1. 3.75-meter design condition: Applicable to urban expressways, arterial roads, and mixed traffic lanes for large vehicles, with a design speed exceeding 60 km/h. 2. 3.50-meter design condition: Applicable to general urban roads (excluding expressways) where mixed traffic lanes for large vehicles have a design speed below 60 km/h, or dedicated small vehicle lanes with a design speed above 60 km/h; also applies to urban road intersections and exit lanes for mixed large vehicle traffic. 3. 3.25-meter design condition: Applicable to dedicated small vehicle lanes on general urban roads, or the minimum width for exit lanes of dedicated small vehicle lanes at reconstructed intersections. 4. 3.0-meter design condition: Applicable to the minimum width for dedicated small vehicle lanes at newly constructed intersection entry lanes, or the minimum width for mixed large vehicle traffic lanes at reconstructed intersection entry lanes. 5. 2.8-meter design condition: Applicable when land use is restricted for entry lanes at reconstructed intersections, representing the minimum width.
