I know that. I was just using a picture to show that it looks different than istewart's picture. I thought it would be a bit flashier than just saying "No it doesn't look like that at all"

Don't those type of roads usually have big ass signs that light up when the light is going to change so you aren't expected to try to brake from 75 to nothing in 20 feet? Simplest solution is to move from the fly over states though.

In my experience, if you can legally go 75 on a road, it doesn't have any mother****in lights. Are you describing some sort of tollbooth situation? I don't understand why there would be a light. Are there intersections? Why are you stopping? IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

I think when you live someplace too poor for overpasses this is what happens when rural roads intersect.

oh now this is just confounding things, on the east coast i never hear people use the term 'freeway' (mostly because the highways cost money, the [censored]).

highways can have lights but on most of them, driving above 65 isn't smart

highways have lights! freeways aren't relevant. highways simply have lights. they just do. this is a fact of life.

route 2 in mass would be considered a highway, and it has lights.

by the way i'm sure nobody says freeway east of the mississippi.

this is worse than phildo's post (setting up a highway/expressway contrast), although you are from long island and philadelphia where expressway may be a common usage

let's get tuq in here

That part of Rte 2 in Concord is always drawn differently on the maps. Speed limit is like 45.

Edit: May be known as the Concord Turnpike. Really just want to throw turnpike into the mix here.

ya obviously the Long Island Expressway, and Brooklyn Queens Expressway(right?). And in Philly we have the Vine Street Expressway (i676 iirc).

I thought Expressway was a common term, though.

On Long Island we have route 25a which is a highway with lights, speed limit 50 or 55 in my neck of the woods, but goes lower towards the more urban areas.
