<p class=MsoNormal>If you switch to the Google sattelite imagery, they are
still pretty<br>
big roads at zoom 14 which is the lowest google has imagery for.  They<br>
may not be motorways as we think of them, but they're something big.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>

<p class=MsoNormal><br>
They probably are reasonably big access roads for a future development... a 3
lane each direction dual carriageway with nice wide garden filled central
reservation with trees and/or other plants to each side seperating the wider
than a normal lane cycle ways on each side from the main carriageway wouldn't
be unusual for a slightly out of the way development (e.g. <a
href="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=30.183743,120.206845&spn=0.003269,0.006866&t=h&z=18).">http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=30.183743,120.206845&spn=0.003269,0.006866&t=h&z=18).</a>..
And they aren't much smaller in city centers when new roads are built, or in
some cases, where existing roads are upgraded, which, with all the demolishing
of buildings that accompanies it, probably makes it a lot more expensive than
just making massive roads in the first place when they can, leading us back to
the probable logic behind building roads wider than two motorways for access to
and within a small development... <o:p></o:p></p>
