(NE Roads)
One of the widest highways I've been on is the QEW in Hamilton, Ontario:

edit: one of the widest images we've ever had, too! ;) please put "img width=800" inside the brackets so that the screen doesn't stretch.
^^ Sorry about that! I'm usually better about the width!
How about this one in NJ :colorful:

I-10 Katy Freeway (Houston, TX):

Amazing.
I wonder how long it takes before the Katy gets backed-up again at the current growth rate of the Houston metropolitan area though.
There is the GSP and US 9 at the Driscoll Bridge, but I can't seem to find a decent shot of it.
QuoteAmazing.

It gets backed up all ready. I was in traffic on it just two nights ago.
I love the QEW picture, how they kept the old bridge alongside the new one. Beautiful.
^^ I've seen better "clones" before. One example is the set of Grand Island Bridges in Buffalo. See them on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=all&q=grand+island+bridges&m=text). The originals were built in 1935. The south one was twinned in 1962, the north in 1965.

Personally, I don't count exit only lanes as "lanes" for the freeway. I'd like to count the through lanes to determine a freeway width. Over 12 through lanes is pretty rare.
