They can have traffic lights, tolls, etc. Interstate highways are regulated by the federal government and were created by Eisenhower.<BR/><BR/>A freeway is a type of highway that does not have traffic lights and you have to take a ramp to get onto it, and there cannot be tolls on them (hence free), it is designed for faster travel to and from towns. It is often the same thing as an expressway or limited access highway. <BR/><BR/>Route 30 is a highway. 71 is a highway AND freeway. As with many things, however, different places uses them interchangeably. I imagine they are used more interchangeably in bigger cities and especially in the west where there are very few small road that people take.<BR/><BR/>So the good news about this is that if you call it a highway, you are ALWAYS right, but if you call it a freeway then you could be wrong. Yay Amanda!! =)<BR/><BR/>And the bad news is that I am NERDHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05502084603133238009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957325549407484186.post-8790763203737352912008-09-13T06:06:00.000-06:002008-09-13T06:06:00.000-06:00Highway...or 70,271,30 etc.Highway...or 70,271,30 etc.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989917866495114793noreply@blogger.com
