Highway standard lanes are 3.75 meters wide, emergency parking strips are 2.5 meters wide, and the central median is 1 meter wide. The specifications for highway lane widths and the width of toll stations are as follows: Highway lane width specifications: According to the "Highway Engineering Technical Standards," the lane width for highways with a design speed of 120 km/h is 3.75 meters, and the emergency parking strip width is 3.5 meters. Since the maximum design speed of highways in China currently does not exceed 120 km/h, the above standards are generally adopted. Highway toll station width: Each lane at a highway toll station is 2.5 meters wide, and wider lanes of 3.5 meters or more may be established when necessary.
