فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ
Fa i ntaqamn a minhum wainnahum a labiim a min mubeen in
and so We inflicted Our retribution on them. And, behold, both these [sinful communities] lived by a highway, [to this day] plain to see.57
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., the people of Lot and those of Shu'ayb, who inhabited adjacent regions (see surah {7}, note [67]), and whose fate should be an example as plain to see as the highway which passes through the regions once inhabited by them.

So We inflicted retribution on them. The ruined towns of these two nations are lying on an open road.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
so We inflicted punishment upon them. The ruins of both nations still lie on a well-known road.
  - Mustafa Khattab
So We took vengeance on them; and lo! they both are on a high road plain to see.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
So We exacted retribution from them. They were both on an open highway plain to see. 2001
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Both: i.e., The Cities of the Plain and the Companions of the Aika.
