The average width of a car lane is 9 feet which is equivalent to  2.7 meters. However, this may vary in some cases like highways  which are 3.7 meters or 12 feet wide.
Only about 5 percent have 11-foot lanes and 1 percent have 10-foot lanes. In. contrast, about one-fourth of the paved rural county state-aid highways have lanes. which are less than 12 feet wide. As Table 5.2 shows, most of these have 11-foot. lanes.
