What is a limited access highway?
I heard someone mention a “limited access highway” the other day. What is that?
Melanie Johnson · Updated on

Good question! A limited access highway is a road for high-speed traffic that connects major towns and cities. “Limited access” refers to there being no intersections on these roads—instead, drivers must use ramps to enter/exit the highway.
Most likely, you’ve probably just heard this type of road called a highway. Here are some highway facts you might not know:
- The National Highway System was created in the 1950s.
- The longest road in the U.S. is Highway 20 (US 20), which connects the Pacific Northwest to New England.
- US 20 spans 3,365 miles and passes through a dozen states.
Highways are cool, but they can also be quite dangerous due to high-speed traffic. It’s a good idea to brush up on some
