Hi Everyone,                                                                                                             I'm at the point of building my Nscale roads & highways on my layout, I just want to know, what are the dimensions for a two lane highway and the dimensions for a  four lane street?  Thanks for the info, Take care.Cool Trainsrme1

Google is your friend, type in "Typical Street Widths, look at images.

For model railroading, you usually have to make comprimises, as to actuall scale widths, and what fits and looks convincing.

Depending on your road, you also might want to consider median and/or shoulders with tape.
