A two-lane freeway or two-lane expressway is a freeway or expressway with only one lane (road) in each direction, and usually no median barrier. It may be built that way because of constraints, or may be intended for expansion once traffic volumes rise. The term super two is often used by roadgeeks for this type of road, but traffic engineers use that term for a high-quality surface road.

A somewhat related concept is a four-lane undivided freeway. This is much rarer; an example is some sections of U.S. Route 101 in northern California.

Justification Two-lane freeways are usually built as a temporary solution due to lack of funds, as an environmental movement compromise or as a way to overcome problems constrained from highway reconstruction when there are four lanes or more. If the road is widened, the existing road is typically allocated to traffic going in one direction, and the lanes for the other direction are built as a whole new roadbed adjacent to the existing one. When upgraded in this manner, the road becomes a typical freeway. Many two-lane freeways are built so that when the road is upgraded to a proper divided freeway, the existing overpasses and ramps do not need reconstruction.
