a road designed to accommodate two lanes of traffic in each direction, typically separated by a central barrier or grassy median
What is a "divided highway"?
A divided highway is a road that has a physical barrier separating the lanes of traffic going in opposite directions. This design helps to prevent head-on collisions and keeps traffic moving in a safer, more organized manner. Divided highways are commonly used for high-speed routes, such as major roads, expressways, or freeways, and are typically wider than regular roads to accommodate more lanes of traffic. The separation between lanes helps improve traffic flow and reduces the risk of accidents.
Example
The divided highway made it much safer to drive, as cars traveling in opposite directions were separated by a large median.
After the construction of the new divided highway, traffic on the old road has decreased significantly.
I prefer driving on a divided highway because it feels safer with the barrier between the lanes.
