Renai Road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Renai Road (仁愛路, also called 3rd Blvd) is a major arterial in Taipei, Taiwan, connecting the Xinyi District in the east with the Daan and Zhongzheng districts towards the west. Renai Road forms a one-way couplet with Xinyi Road between Guangfu Road and Zhongshan Road, with Renai for eastbound traffic and Xinyi for westbound traffic. Renai Road (along with Dunhua and Zhongshan roads) is known as one of Taipei's more "beautiful" roads, with the heavily landscaped medians dividing the road into local and express lanes. Along with Xinyi Road, Renai Road has a contraflow bus only lane in the middle of the roadway.
