The widest road in the world the Monumental Axis in Brazil is wide enough and has space for 160 cars to drive side by side.Imagine the cones to narrow that down to one lane for miles on end while no one works on the resurfacing!

A side effect of overburning of the rainforest probably... if in doubt, tarmac it ;D
-
Don't know why they made it that wide,but makes for one heck of a traffic jam!

Perhaps they all drive Daewoo's and know they don't have enough power to overtake anything....so they get a lane each :-\ ;D

Nowt wrong with a daewoo, lad. Buy cheap, hammer it, throw it away. I've had it over a year now, if I get another three, I'll be happy. Reckon I'll have put about 50000 miles on it by then.

Are you sure it is a road?
It probably is a runway in it's part time! ;D ;D ;)

Theyve one like that in Ireland as well......Its only 15 meters long though ;)

Yes a quick google reveals that the central reservation is included. ::) ;D

That could be closer to the truth then many people realise Liz considering what the Brazilian Air Force have just bought and how its home nation operate it ;)

Its a myth, the only thing record breaking about it is the width of the central reservation ;)
Ooohhh, xmas smilies, nice :y :P

I've driven on a road near Pumakale in Turkey which, way up in the mountains, is used as an Emergency Runway when necessary.
Very odd driving along, then suddenly, all the markings for the runway appear along with rubber from the aircraft's wheels.
No central reservation on that one, though! ;)

The autobarns (sp) in germany were intended to be used as makeshift runways in case of a war.
-
Nah, they were built qs a quick and easy way to move troops and equipment :y
After the war, the Americans improved the network so that they might drive tqnks straight to Berlin and beyond...

Partially correct, as in fact the autobahn building programme had been started before Hitler came to power by the Weimar Republic, and before the path to war, but the Fuhrer took the credit and expanded the network. ;)
