laned

Marked with divisions

Laned describes something divided into lanes or having lanes: a six-laned highway, the laned swimming pool.

The word appears almost exclusively in compounds describing roads or pools with a specified number of lanes.

Outside these contexts, the adjective is rare—people say a road with six lanes more often than a six-laned road.
