superhighway
Multi-lane express road
A superhighway is a wide, multi-lane road designed for high-speed travel, typically with limited access points and divided traffic: The interstate superhighway system transformed American travel.
The term often emphasizes scale or modernity compared to ordinary highways.
In the 1990s, information superhighway became a popular metaphor for the Internet, suggesting rapid data transmission across vast networks.
