Super two (original) (raw)

A super two, super two-lane highway or wide two-lane is a two-lane surface road built to highway standards with wide lanes and other safety features normally present on a freeway with more lanes, typically including partial control of access, occasional passing lanes and hard shoulders. It is often built for eventual conversion to freeway or at least divided-highway status once traffic volumes rise. Super twos have also been employed because of environmental concerns, such as where Interstate 93 becomes a super two in Franconia Notch, New Hampshire, United States.
