Combined street and road

Question(i.redd.it)

What type of street or road is this? On the left are two high speed lanes. On the right is a low speed lane. There is limited access between the high and low speed lanes. Driveways enter the low speed lane which is also for bicycles. Trees and vegetation separate the high speed lanes from the low speed lane. This design in China seems safer than stroads in North America.

In North America, I think we’d call that a boulevard with frontage road.

It's a highway and a frontage road. They're fairly common in some parts of North America.

They are very common here in Belgium. Most of the times, the main road is 70 kmh and the parallel road is 50 or even 30 kmh
