    Default WHATS THE LEGAL SIZE OF A ROAD

    my question is, is there a legal standard size width of a highway (double yellow line, solid white line on shoulder). the reason i ask is, i travel springfield rd in springfield delco,(sleepy hollow deli area) and ever since the roads have been milled and resurfaced the stripes seem to be WAY much closer together. i was following an suv tonite and noticed there was about 8" on either side of his outer tires between the lines, that doesnt give much room for error if you know what i mean. thank you in advanced, bogey

    You might find some info on that at the PennDot site and click on "Design & Construction" and all the sub categories.

    Normal road per ideal design is 12' wide per lane...this can be cut down to 10' though (which is very noticeable to drivers), and could be due to a required amount of shoulder or who knows what...

Tomorrow you're all going to wake up in a brave new world, a world where the Constitution gets trampled by an army of terrorist clones, created in a stem-cell research lab run by homosexual doctors who sterilize their instruments over burning American flags. -- Stephen Colbert

    Is that road a township or state road? We just repainted the lines on most of our township roads and the state said we had to use double lines not single. Not only did we spend more money because of that but it made the lanes appear to lose a half a foot.
