Where are the oncoming lanes?

I'm assuming you're talking about the featured image for the post.

What you're seeing is not uncommon in America, especially in the mountains. Roads for traffic in the opposite direction can be separated from your road.

It's also often the case that the other road might be on the other side of a hill/mountain. I've seen that in multiple states across the US.

This specific instance, where two separate roads are going in the same direction can occur where the left road doesn't have exits/entrances, and can move faster than the right road when there's traffic. The left road may also be switched to change traffic directions. I most recently saw this in some mountainous terrain in Arizona.

Sure, but this picture is imaginary anyway, so why does that matter?

Setting aside the motion blur in the lane markings(?!), the 3-lane highway on the left turns into a 4-lane highway in front of the car, then splits into two with an island in the middle? Is that supposed to be a breakdown lane on the left? The truck on the left of the three is either going very slowly, or is about to crash. Tracing the truck shadows from the corners shows the sun is roughly behind the "pt" of "Optimized". And what are those intermittent lane markers with the very short gap even supposed to be? I think the are supposed to be 15 feet long with 25 foot gaps.

And the three lanes on the left highway are too narrow.
