Where is the regular AASHTO 24ft road?

I did download some versions of the AASHTO 24ft roads on the DLS (The cracked version and also the patched.) but one thing I am looking for now:The regular version of the AASHTO 24ft road which the closest I can find is a AASHTO 28ft road on USLW,but no 24ft version. Would anyone know if there is or even a regular version of the AASHTO 24ft road? I could not find one on USLW,and that is where I would suspect to find a AASHTO 24ft road.
 
I don’t think any AASHTO roads are 24ft wide, the minimum is 28ft. That includes 2 traffic lanes plus margins or shoulders on both sides. The margins vary in width in different models, but I believe 2 adjacent lanes are always 24ft. I don’t recall seeing any AASHTO roads without margins, at least not on the DLS. I can’t speak about 3rd-party web sites as I never use them.

The crack- and patch splines are 24ft wide because I wanted them to fit over the traffic lanes only, not to extend into the un-trafficked margins. They are not roads, they don’t generate or support traffic, but are just cracks or repair patches on a transparent background. I figured this size and configuration would also give them the best chance of being usable with many of the non-AASHTO road types available in Trainz.

The crack- and patch splines all have names starting with “AASHTO 24ft....” so they would group together with gfisher’s (and slabay’s) AASHTO roads in Surveyor. This makes them easier to find when you’re placing roads but wasn’t meant to imply any of the roads themselves are 24ft wide. I hope I’ve covered everything.
