Highways And Freeways In Melbourne
A highway is any public or private road or other public way on land. It includes not just major roads, but also other public roads and rights of way. In the United States, it is also used as an equivalent term to controlled-access highway, or a translation for ''motorway'', ''Autobahn'', '' autostrada'', '' autoroute'', etc. According to Merriam-Webster, the use of the term predates the 12th century. According to Etymonline, "high" is in the sense of "main".
