would not a third, middle, 'emergency lane' be in order, in case of a breakdown -esp a heavy truck- or in case of an accident? I'm just thinking public safety and tansport fluidity here.

2 with big shoulders would be fine. A single lane of roadway would be able to accommodate the current daily traffic on the ferry in about 2 hours, so there would be a heck of a lot of spare capacity.
4 lanes might not be much more expensive though, and if a Van Isle connection happens the capacity could be useful.
