What is a "median strip"?
A median strip is the area of land that separates lanes of traffic moving in opposite directions on a road or highway. It is usually located in the middle of the road and can be made of grass, concrete, or other materials. The purpose of a median strip is to provide a safe space between opposing lanes of traffic, reducing the risk of head-on collisions and allowing for better traffic flow. In some cases, a median strip may also have barriers or trees to enhance safety.
Examples
The highway was divided by a median strip, with flowers planted along its length.
