King's Highway
Monarch's named route
King's Highway is a public road maintained by the government, historically one under the crown's protection and authority.
The term survives in legal contexts and as a formal name for specific roads: The old King's Highway runs through the center of town.
In the United States, several colonial-era routes retain the name, particularly along the Eastern Seaboard.
