highway

[C] Đếm được

Số nhiều: highways

This term evokes a sense of scale and velocity, focusing on the efficiency of long-distance travel. It carries a connotation of connectivity and industrial progress, often associated with the sprawling infrastructure of modern urban planning and the freedom of the open road. In a social context, it is frequently used to describe a primary route or a streamlined path to a goal. While a street is local and intimate, a highway is impersonal and functional, designed to move mass quantities of vehicles across vast distances without the interruption of residential stops.

Countable when referring to specific named routes or distinct stretches of road, such as the I-95 highway.
