single lane
Road without passing
Single lane describes a road or pathway with only one lane of traffic, requiring vehicles traveling in opposite directions to share the same space or wait for each other to pass.
Such roads typically appear in rural areas, on bridges, or through tunnels: The single lane bridge meant we had to yield to oncoming traffic.
The term also describes dedicated lanes for specific purposes: a single lane for bicycles.
