Undivided highway
01
a road where traffic in both directions shares the same lanes without a physical barrier between them
What is an "undivided highway"?
An undivided highway is a type of road that does not have any physical barrier separating the lanes of traffic going in opposite directions. On these roads, vehicles traveling in both directions share the same space, usually marked by lane lines or a centerline. Undivided highways are typically narrower than divided highways and are often found in less busy or rural areas. Because there is no barrier to prevent vehicles from crossing into oncoming traffic, drivers must be more cautious, especially when overtaking other vehicles.
Examples
The driver must be cautious on an undivided highway because there is no barrier to separate oncoming traffic.
