We have that same problem in the United States.
There are so many regional names, that it is difficult to know what is the
most commonly used word. The word "freeway" is not used in South Carolina,
but is in many other parts of the country, especially California.
The word "carriageway" is non-existent in American English.

So? What do you call them? We can all agree that they are roads.
