minus-squarenilloc@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·3 days agoA lot of folks use the term highway to mean interstate highway or elevated or separated highway, where bikes and pedestrians are prohibited. I usually use the word freeway for those types of roads, but that shouldn’t include tollways which usually also prohibit bikes and pedestrians.
