Highway

Please, what's the difference between a highway and a road?

Thanks,
Anon.

A highway is usually a road connecting cities on which you can travel at relatively high speeds. A road is a more general name for surfaces that vehicles use to travel on. Have you tried looking these up in a dictionary?

Thank you. For sure! Before asking the forum for help, I took a look at the definitions in a dictionary at internet ,but I didn't understand very well because there it says road as the same as highway. See:

"Road:

a way made for traveling between places, esp. distant places, by automobile, horseback, etc.; highway" (
