§ 5212 Freeway Definition And Access

• •A freeway is a big road made for fast, long-distance driving.
• •It has no traffic lights or stop signs—cars can keep moving without stopping.
• •Only certain roads can connect to it, so not just anyone can drive on or off wherever they want.

You’re driving on a big road with no traffic lights, and you can only get on or off at special ramps.

That’s a freeway. You can’t just turn onto it from any street—you have to use the special entrances and exits.
