clearway
No-stopping road zone
A clearway is a stretch of road where stopping or parking is prohibited, keeping traffic flowing freely.
The term is primarily British, appearing on highway signs to indicate restrictions.
In aviation, a clearway is a cleared area beyond the runway available for aircraft to complete takeoff: The airport extended its clearway to accommodate larger jets.
