Four-Lane Urban Section: The four -lane urban section would be introduced in urban areas with minimal <br />access requirements. This section provides access and median openings only for street intersections or entrances <br />to major developed areas. A raised median will provide additional safety by preventing most cross - median <br />accidents, reducing headlight glare from oncoming vehicle's at night, and, regulating left -turn movements. <br />14' 12' <br />12' <br />Four -Tare Rural SeWon: This section would be used in currently undeveloped areas where an increased <br />right -of -way would likely be available.
