With three or more lanes in each direction, both shoulders are to be at least 10 feet (3.0 m) wide. In mountainous terrain, a left shoulder of 4 feet (1.2 m) and a right shoulder of 8 feet (2.4 m) are acceptable, except where there are at least four lanes in each direction, in which case both shoulders are to be at least 8 feet (2.4 m) wide.
However, in efforts to save newsprint costs, many U.S. newspapers [2] have downsized to 11 in (279 mm) wide by 21 in (533 mm) long for a folded page. [3] [4] Many rate cards and specification cards refer to the "broadsheet size" with dimensions representing the front page "half of a broadsheet" size, rather than the full, unfolded broadsheet ...

The existing street grid also made it difficult to lay some railroad lines, as the trains required a wide turn radius. This led to the first elevated railways in the late 19th century. The elevated rails, being grade-separated, prevented almost all pedestrian/vehicle accidents, and could allow track bends above existing structures.
Even though the original bridge was replaced in the 2000s, the new bridge also has a draw span, albeit with more vertical clearance resulting in fewer openings than the old bridge—about 65 per year, an average of about one every six days. I-695 has a drawbridge over Curtis Creek, south of Baltimore and just west of the Francis Scott Key ...
