			:::Any route can be a highway, where as a motorway or a freeway must be access-controlled, although this idea does not exist in GTA. In some countries an expressway is a freeway, in others they are just normal roads, and in others they are access-controlled routes with only 1 lane in each direction (2x1)--[[User:Daniel3080\|Daniel3080]] 12:09, August 19, 2010 (UTC)Daniel3080

	:In the UK, we call most of them "dual carriageways" (although we understand Highway) and "Motorways" are the small number of big inter-city 3-lane+ roads (usually raised, with no exits except sliproads, no traffic lights, no roundabouts) and we'd never use the word Freeway.

	Hello, fellow editors. I have created this page in the hopes of providing a general overview of freeways/highways. I named it ''Highways'' and created a redirect page for [[Freeways]]. I am, however, a little concerned about colloquial designations, particularly because of my ignorance as to what folks across the pond call what we yanks refer to as ''freeways''. In general, as I understand it, we use ''freeway'' to designate a heavily traveled, multiple-lane, raised roadway, while ''highway'' usually refers to a slightly less heavily used, not necessarily raised, and not necessarily multiple-lane roadway that connects distant points. We do, however, tend to use ''highway'' as a broad categorization for both types. If anyone has some good suggestions on naming, etc., I would love to hear them. Otherwise, if everyone is fine with ''Highways'', we'll leave it at that. Happy editing!
