An interesting aspect of Lar city is the construction of an ultra-modern expressway between the city of Lar and a police station 10 KM from the city. The 6-lane expressway has been fully upgraded with high luminous lighting and high quality pavement, to facilitate the transportation needs of people of Lar in accessing the police station. The expressway ends at the police station and continues as a gravel road to reach the neighboring cities.^[2]
