: not always, in California, a highway is a publicly maintained road of whatever nature, even dirt roads. See my note for MGhiuzeli

Mulţumesc. Conform DER, echivalentul propus este corect. Înţeleg că şi în practică este corect.

autostrada cu plata vs. autostrada gratis
in California- "freeways"- gratis
in New York, "highways". Ambele sunt foarte largi si cu multe benzi. Diferenta rezida in accesul cu/fara plata.

: It's a mistake non-engineers often make - toll highways are called turnpikes. "Free" in "freeway" doesn't meen you don't have to pay for access but that the traffic is "free-flowing" autostrăzi nu autostrade
