parkways
Landscaped divided highways
Parkways are scenic roads designed for recreational driving, typically featuring landscaped borders, gentle curves, and limited access.
Originally intended to connect parks and preserve natural beauty along driving routes, they often prohibit commercial vehicles.
In American English, a parkway is—ironically—a road you drive on, while a driveway is where you park.
