A road is a thoroughfare from one place to another, primarily used for movement of traffic. Many roads are paved. The words "road" and "street" are commonly considered to be interchangeable, but the distinction is important in urban design. Roads differ from streets, whose primary use is local access. Roads also differ from stroads, which combine the features of streets and roads. There are many types of roads, including parkways, avenues, controlled-access highways (freeways, motorways, and expressways), tollways, highways, local roads, public roads and private roads. The primary features of roads include lanes, sidewalks (pavement), roadways (carriageways), medians, shoulders, verges, bike paths (cycle paths), and shared-use paths.
