This doesn't look like motorway with just 2 lanes.

i think definition of motorway(freeway) is not # of lanes. rather it's lack of intersections and stops etc. hence the name "freeway". in north America many freeways(british motorways) r two laned.

Only when passing in busy areas like major cities, # of lanes increase. But in less busy areas they become 2 lanes.

I'm sure they'll have side barricades in areas like the last two pics. At least they should.
