What is the width of a highway?
1 Answers
Highway lane widths are 3.75 meters and 3.5 meters (emergency lane). Below are specific details about highways: 1. Design speeds are 80 km/h, 100 km/h, 120 km/h, and 60 km/h (for special sections); 2. The road scale consists of at least four lanes in both directions or two lanes in one direction; 3. Highways are classified based on technical grade, ranking above Class I, Class II, Class III, Class IV, and substandard roads. Highways intersect with national or provincial highways in the road network hierarchy, meaning highways can be part of national or provincial highways. 4. In urban road systems, expressways can be constructed using highway standards because their basic structural characteristics are similar. The highway network differs from the concept of highways, as it not only includes highways that meet technical grade standards but also encompasses some express routes serving high-speed transportation functions, which are mostly closed Class I roads and often share toll systems with other highways.
