Then we have this odd type of road used to save money:
That's not saving money! You should try a Rhodesian (long now Zimbabwean) strip road. It's essentially a dirt road with a single one-car width of tarmac down the middle. Drive like the clappers until something come the other way and then, at the last minute, both vehicles pull half onto the dirt with the centre-road wheels still on the edge of the tarmac. resume high speed travel thereafter.

If you really want to get cheap ten lay two thin strips of tarmac to act as the fast route - one for each side's pair of wheels.
