We estimate the 3D extinction law in the optical–NIR bands for a line of sight in the 2nd quadrant of the Galactic disk. Two dust lanes are identified at ~9 and ~10.25 kpc in both AV and RV, indicating that the size of the dust grains in the spiral arms is larger than that in the inter-arm regions.
