And to even confuse it further we have the Calder freeway in Melbourne
that has a stratch that is not limited access. There are cars coming in
from all angles and cars crossing, and lots of people killing
themselves. They have reduced the spped limit but it is stll called a
freeway.

The only think we will agree on is "Road"
