    Interstate 75 north of Atlanta. It is 8 lanes wide northbound and 7 lanes southbound, for 15 contiguous multi-purpose lanes. Plans are to add a separated 4-lane truck tollway and a separated 4-lane high occupancy vehicle freeway, which a passengerless vehicle could buy into. The total would be 23 lanes or 388 feet of pavement side to side.

    These two bridges carry the Garden State Parkway and US 1&9 respectively.
