The Disadvantages of Two Lane Freeways

Freeways are great roads. They are definitely my favorite roads, and I go on them whenever I can. However, if they have only two lanes, they can easily turn into a huge nightmare.

The reason for that is trucks. The freeway near me has a speed limit of 110 km/h (about 70 mph). When a truck that goes 85 km/h (53 mph) wants to pass a truck that goes at 80 km/h (50 mph), everyone has to slow down. This is a real annoyance.

The solution to that is expanding the road to three lanes. It is wider in some segments, and traffic is really flowing in there. However, when the lanes go back to two, there are really big traffic jams in there.

Hopefully the entire road will be expanded soon, so driving there will be a pleasure once again.
