Question 6924
How many lanes does the roadway in the photograph have?
- Two, since the roadway is wide enough to allow two rows of motor vehicles other than motorcycles to travel on it.
- Only one, since there are no markings on the roadway that mark off the lanes.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Two, since the roadway is wide enough to allow two rows of motor vehicles other than motorcycles to travel on it.
Lanes are counted based on the width of the roadway, whether or not there are painted lines. If two rows of motor vehicles (automóviles) other than motorcycles fit side by side, there are two lanes. The road in the image has only edge lines painted on it and is wide enough for two rows, so it has two lanes even though nothing separates them.
