open-road
Unobstructed driving ahead
Open-road describes driving conditions or experiences characterized by unobstructed travel, typically on highways with light traffic and few stops: open-road driving, open-road toll collection.
The term evokes freedom and momentum—the romantic appeal of hitting the highway without congestion or delay: There's nothing like the open-road feeling of a cross-country trip.
