Well I thought I knew the answer to this: Park Lane. OK it's not a motorway but it is a six lane speedway.

Tyburn Lane was a narrow lane running down between Hyde Park and Mayfair, then acres of the park were sliced off to build the new road. Park Lane's central reservation is owned and maintained by Royal Parks.
