Which term describes a road with opposing traffic lanes?

• A. Dual Highway
• B. Bridge
• C. Tunnel
• D. Marsh

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is distinguishing terms for road layouts that handle traffic in opposite directions. A road that carries traffic in both directions on separate lanes is described by terms that emphasize two-way flow, often with a median or divider between the directions. The best match here is dual highway, because it denotes a road designed for two opposing directions of traffic on two carriageways, typically separated by a median. The other options do not describe traffic directions: a bridge and a tunnel are structures that carry roads across gaps or through obstacles, not descriptions of how traffic moves on the road; a marsh is a wetland and unrelated to road geometry.
