    Hwys really should not need to be any wider that what’s shown in this photo.

    Trucks and trailers on the right always, cars in the middle, and passing on the left.

    Or for our UK friend’s. Lorries on the left always, cars in the middle, and passing on the right.

      and 99% of the US roadways are this or less.

      But when a road connects three urban areas with multiple suburbs in every direction, weird things happen. Most traffic horror isn’t in road planning at all, it’s in urban and suburban planning.

      Why do 3 million people need to get from one side of LA to the other on a regular basis?

      All good and well until you have a 3 or 4 trailer road train limited to 90kph with a poor little box truck stuck behind it wanting to do 110kph. Trucks should be allowed in the middle lane for overtaking each other.
