narrow roads

Slim driving routes

Roads with limited width, typically allowing only one lane of traffic or requiring vehicles to pull aside when meeting oncoming traffic.

Narrow roads are common in rural areas, historic districts, and mountainous terrain where widening isn't practical: The narrow roads through the village weren't designed for modern trucks.

Warning signs often alert drivers to narrow roads ahead.
