(I think inselpeter, like many NY, NYC, NYSer's doesn't drive --or drive much.)

Think again. At least I drive to park--most recently at the distance of a one hour subway ride from home. And in the rain.

In my personal lexicon, a road with 12 lanes in either direction (and three perpendicular in each) is a 24 (or 30) lane highway. [obnocticon]

And across the North River from us, 9W, a US route of the Burma Shave era, is a two- four- or five-lane--and was just two until they widened it for commuter traffic. 2x [obnocticon]

Route one, The Boston Post Road is more interesting, but I doubt it ever posted a Burma. [Obn]

But this is getting off topic.
