Two-way street
Encyclopedia
A two-way street is a street that allows vehicles to travel in both directions.

Sometimes one portion of a street is two-way, the other portion one-way. If there is no line, a car must stay on the appropriate side and watch for cars coming in the opposite direction and prepare to pull over to let them pass.
