So instead you prefer a term which has *no* meaning in *most* places?
Yes, because its meaning is consistent. [[Category:Elevators]] includes lifts.
[[WP:NBD]]. My kids know what an elevator is, they don't know what a freeway is. Given that the words for this type of road in just about every other language I can think of translate to "motor road" or "motor way" perhaps that would be the least ambiguous thing. But limited-access highway, or restricted access highway, is also unambiguous without carrying the usual overtones of America = The World, per the World Series etc.
