Is that highway as in motorway, rather than just any road? I presume that is just a difference in American/English. The very idea of having one of those in a town is insanity.

They're often called 'stroads' or street-roads.

I have heard of those but assumed it was just in major cities. They don't exist here.

Yes. And I'm not sure why you think it's insane when that's how it is basically everywhere in the world they're built lol

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, no it isnt. Motorways go around towns, not through them.

Yes. And that's true in the case I'm describing as well. I feel like you're being deliberately obtuse.
