It was something I had to get used to in Colombia. They honk for everything. Even when crossing a road. It’s to make sure anyone who can’t see you can at least maybe hear you and it might prevent an accident. At least that’s what my friends tell me.
Same with Egypt, one place that I was happy to leave the driving to someone else. The amount and nuance of honks, especially on 6+ lane highways, often lacking any distinguishing lane markings, was impressive.
My best guess based on the amount of cars that were on either side of us at any given time, and the overall width of the highway based on ones in other countries.

How do you know it was 6 lanes?
