roadway
Where cars travel
A roadway is the part of a road used by vehicles—the paved surface between curbs or shoulders, excluding sidewalks and medians.
The term appears in traffic regulations and engineering contexts: The roadway was slick with ice.
It can also refer to the entire road structure: Workers closed the roadway for repairs.
