lane – a division of a road marked off with painted lines and intended to
separate
single lines of traffic; a narrow rural road
- I find it quite scary driving in the fast lane of the motorway.
cycle lane – part of a road marked off with painted lines, for use by cyclists
- There have been far fewer cyclists killed on the
roads since the government
introduced cycle lanes in our towns and cities.
bus lane – part of a road marked off with painted lines, for use by buses
- Car drivers are not allowed to use the bus lanes.
bypass / ring road / beltway – a road which circles a town or city and enables you
to go faster from one point to another.
- I usually take the ring road to visit my brother as the roads through town are
always congested.
freeway / highway / expressway –
a public road,
often with multiple lanes,
especially an important road that joins cities or towns together
The traffic in the city centre moved slowly but once Raul hit the freeway there
was less traffic and he was able to drive much faster.
motorway (UK) – a road with three lanes going each way
- Motorways are vitally important for the transportation of goods around the UK.
overpass – a bridge that carries one road over another road
No-one believed that the new overpass would really ease traffic congestion but it
has made a noticeable difference.
