These are all freeways - motorways are freeways, autobahns are freeways, etc. A freeway is a highway with full control of access and no cross traffic. This category is for freeways, and it was originally called Category:Freeways.
As a Brit, I'm sure you mean "These are all motorways - freeways are motorways, autobahns are motorways, etc."? Anyway, I'll forgive your confusion. ;)
Not so - the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Cross_Route is a freeway but not a motorway, as it was stripped of its motorway status in 2000. Motorway is a classification rather than a standard of building; many longer sections of road are freeways but cannot be classified as motorways, as slow vehicles are banned from all motorways.
