Question 2538

How many lanes does a roadway have?

  1. As many as the number of rows of motor vehicles, other than motorcycles, that can travel side by side.
  2. Two in all cases.
  3. One if it is one-way, or two if it is two-way.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: As many as the number of rows of motor vehicles, other than motorcycles, that can travel side by side.

Each lane must accommodate one line of motor vehicles other than motorcycles, even if it is unmarked. The number of lanes therefore depends on how many of these lines fit side by side.
