lane, carriageway
Here it seems to be talking about the outside lane (transit for a single vehicle) of the left carriageway (the entire contiguous paved surface) of a dual carriageway road:

Lane
If you are talking about roads, Helena, then lane is the correct term, in the UK anyway. In the US they may have another term.
Note from asker:
| so you would use lane for both via and faixa in the meaning above. You wouldn't use a second term to distinguish the two words like in Portuguese?! |

Lane is, obviously, the first choice, and other synonyms may help prevent repetition. One example:
Travelling on outer most right lane of expressway... - Page 3 ...
