Single carriageway

The A511 in Leicestershire, England: a typical single-carriageway arterial road with one traffic lane for each direction (and, in this case, a two-way pedestrian and cycle way alongside)

A single carriageway (British English) or an undivided highway (American English) is a road with one, two or more lanes arranged within a one carriageway with no central reservation/median strip to separate opposing flows of traffic. A single-track road has a single lane with passing places for traffic in both directions. Road traffic safety is generally worse for high-speed single carriageways than for dual carriageways due to the lack of separation between traffic moving in opposing directions.[1]
