one-lane road

Single-file driving path

A one-lane road is wide enough for only one vehicle at a time.

Traffic in both directions must share the single lane, with drivers pulling aside or waiting at wider spots to let oncoming vehicles pass: We met a truck on the one-lane road and had to back up to a turnout.
