Freeway
Hi.
Despite some minor differences, dictionaries provide similar definitions for motorway, highway, freeway and expressway.
I would be grateful if you tell me the differences between them so I can distinguish them in context.
My appreciation is beyond expression.
The followings are Longman definitions but to me is still confusing.
Freeway:a very wide road in the US built for fast travel
Motorway: very wide road for traveling fast over long distances especially between cities
Highway: a wide main road that joins one town to another
Expressway: a wide road in a city in which car can travel very fast without stoping.

We don't have "motorways" in the U.S. so I can't help you with that.
