Some of the Highways in Sri Lanka have reached “A” class status mainly due to their state of the art conditions coupled with equally high quality maintenance. The surface of these Sri Lankan highways is deliberately made bituminous in an attempt to enhance their smoothness. Even some of these highways are being widened to make more surface area available for the passengers and the vehicles. Even the number of road markings that are available in these Highways in Sri Lanka are also made to increase, in an attempt to reduce on-road confusions among the drivers. The Southern Expressway is a126 km long highway from Colombo to Matara. This is an ambitious project of the Sri Lankan government wherein it will make an attempt to nullify all those problems that were a part of its previous projects.
Highways in Sri Lanka also come with destination marks with the approximate measure in Kilometers provided with them. This helps the drivers to have a clear idea about their destination and the distance that they need to traverse in attaining the same. Even there are few restaurants that are located just on the outskirts of these Highways in Sri Lanka. This further ensures that you can even dine during the course of your journey.
