Look up freeway in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

A freeway is an United States term for a type of high capacity, high speed road. It has a fairly ambiguous definition: Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...

California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (7331 words)
California's vast terrain is connected by an extensive system of freeways, expressways, and highways, all maintained by Caltrans and patrolled by the California Highway Patrol, except for the numbered expressways in Santa Clara County which were built and maintained by the county itself.
The main north-south arteries are U.S. Route 101, which runs close to the coast from the state's border with Oregon to downtown Los Angeles, and Interstate 5, which runs inland from the Oregon to Mexico borders, bisecting the entire state.
A regularly recurring issue in California politics is whether the state should continue to aggressively expand its freeway network or concentrate on improving mass transit networks in urban areas.
