What is an expressway?

I was chatting with my cousin the other day and she said that she was going to take the expressway out of town this weekend. I don’t know if I’ve heard that term before. Maybe I’m missing something, but what is an expressway?

Words we don’t hear much from day to day can definitely sound weird! An expressway, or a controlled-access highway, is defined by the following:
  • Designed for fast traffic
  • Has controlled entrance and exit points
  • Features a dividing strip between traffic in opposite directions
  • Typically has two or more lanes in each direction
Hopefully, that helps clarify the term! While traveling by car is top of mind, why not use it as an opportunity to update your
