Bill,

         Yes, it could be a single carriageway, four-lane 
(five-lane?) street in town. I'll have to think about that.
         Outside of town, the dividers are more substantial, usually 
with concrete barriers or a wide brushy median. About half the roads 
get a pass through the divider, and about half don't, so I think it 
fits the trunk criteria there.
