What is the width of a highway lane?
1 Answers
On highways, the standard width of a single lane is 3.75m, with an emergency stopping strip width of 3.5m. For multi-lane roads above the third grade, the width of each motor vehicle lane ranges from 3.5 to 3.75 meters. The relevant regulations on lane width and the width of toll stations are as follows: Relevant regulations on lane width: According to the "Technical Standards for Highway Engineering": the lane width for highways designed at 120km/h is 3.75m, with an emergency stopping strip width of 3.5m. Since the maximum design speed of highways in China currently does not exceed 120km/h, the above standards are generally adopted. Toll station lane width: Additionally, the width of each lane at highway toll stations is 2.5 meters, and if necessary, an extra-wide lane of over 3.5 meters may be established. However, regardless of the width at any location on the highway, drivers must operate their vehicles accordingly. Only by adhering to laws and regulations can drivers effectively prevent traffic accidents on highways.
