That's a regional difference in terms. I would generally call a limited access highway, a "highway". https://brilliantmaps.com/wp-content/uploads/big-fast-roa

- stonogo 1y ago'Freeway' is a regional term, but the Federal Highway Administration describes them as limited-access with directions of travel separated by a barrier. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/processes/statewide/related/highway_functional_classifications/section03.cfm https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/planning/processes/statewide/relate... The Federal definition of highway is basically any public road. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-26/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-48/subpart-F/section-48.4041-8 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-26/chapter-I/subchapter-D...
- radlad 1y agoYes and I believe when OP said highway they meant it colloquially, as in a freeway, hence using that term in my reply. A highway wouldn't really make sense since it encompasses just about every road, as you say.
