üksisteeline

Üksisteeline is an Estonian term that literally translates to "one-lane" or "single-lane." It is primarily used in the context of roads and traffic. An üksisteeline road is one that has only a single lane of traffic in each direction. This is in contrast to dual-lane or multi-lane roads where there are multiple lanes for traffic in one or both directions.

The term often implies a road with a narrower width than a multi-lane road and may have lower speed limits. Üksisteeline roads are common in rural areas, smaller towns, and on less-trafficked routes where the volume of vehicles does not necessitate a wider road. In some cases, it can also refer to a road that has only one lane for both directions of travel, requiring drivers to take turns or yield to oncoming traffic, though this is less common for general road classifications and more often seen in specific situations like narrow bridges or temporary diversions. The implementation of an üksisteeline road design is influenced by factors such as traffic volume, available space, and cost considerations.
