    A freeway has 2 or more lanes in each direction.
    A freeway has a median or a divider/barrier between directions.
    Freeways have enterance/exit ramps.
    Freeways have no cross traffic/traffic lights/stop signs...
    Interstates are always freeways with, I think, 2 exeptions.


    A highway is a major road with a state number.
    Highways often have only 1 lane/direction.
    Highways don't need a barrier between directions.
    All freeways are highways, but not all highways are freeways.

    Freeways were often built to make a more efficient trip than smaller highways through towns.
