A highway is a main road for travel by the public between important destinations, such as cities and states. Highway designs vary widely and can range from a two-lane road without margins to a multi-lane, grade separated motorway. In English and U.S. law, the word "highway" is used to denote any public way used for travel, whether major highway, freeway, street, lane, alley, pathway, dirt track, footpaths and trails, and navigable waterways.

  • A highway is a main road for travel by the public between important destinations, such as cities and states. Highway designs vary widely and can range from a two-lane road without margins to a multi-lane, grade separated motorway. In English and U.S. law, the word "highway" is used to denote any public way used for travel, whether major highway, freeway, street, lane, alley, pathway, dirt track, footpaths and trails, and navigable waterways. An interconnected set of highways can be variously referred to as a "highway system", a "highway network" or a "highway transportation system". The United States has the largest network of highways, including both the Interstate highways and United States Numbered Highways. At least one of these networks is present in every state and connects most major cities. China's highway network is the second most extensive in the world, with a total length of 3.573 million km. China's expressway network is also the second longest in the world and quickly expanding, stretching some 60,300 km at the end of 2008, In 2008 alone, 6,433 km expressways were added to the network. In the UK the term highway is ambiguous and not in common use, usually reserved for historic or legal use. The terms main road, motorway are more common. Any classification of a road as a "highway" and therefore any statistics about the total length of a highway network is purely subjective. Some highways, like the Pan-American Highway or the European routes, bridge multiple countries. Australia's Highway 1 is the longest national highway in the world at over 20,000 km (12,000 mi) and runs almost the entire way around the continent. Highways are not always continuous stretches of pavement. For example, some highways are interrupted by bodies of water, and ferry routes may serve as sections of the highway.
  • Als Highway werden im US-amerikanischen Sprachgebrauch alle Hauptverkehrsstraßen bezeichnet, die dem Fernverkehr dienen.
  • A rodovia de acordo com definições no Anexo I do Código de Trânsito, são vias rurais de rodagem pavimentadas. No Brasil corresponde a uma via de transporte interurbano de alta velocidade, que podem ou não proibir o seu uso por parte de pedestres e ciclistas, sendo de fácil identificação por sua denominação no caso de federais são chamadas pelas iniciais BR-XXX (onde XXX é o código de cada rodovia) e as estaduais de AB-XX(X) (onde as letras AB representam o código do Estado brasileiro e o XXX ou XX é o código da estrada). No Brasil, houve um grande aumento na construção de rodovias mediante a criação do DNER (Departamento Nacional de Estradas de Rodagem) acarretando em um grande aumento nas pavimentações. As rodovias federais dividem-se em: rodovias radiais com códigos do tipo BR-0x0, cuja quilometragem é iniciada a partir de Brasília; rodovias longitudinais, com códigos iniciados com BR-1xx começando a partir do litoral; rodovias transversais iniciadas com BR-2xx; rodovias diagonais iniciadas com BR-3xx e rodovias de ligação iniciadas com BR-4xx.

  • HOV lanes are a critical part of the Province’s transportation strategy because of their ability to increase the efficiency of Ontario’s transportation system. HOV lanes have proven to be a successful strategy in many North American cities for moving more people and increasing the efficiency of the transportation network. An HOV lane has the ability to move as many people as four general-purpose lanes.
