trafficway
Road for cars
A trafficway is any road, street, or route designed for vehicular traffic.
The term is primarily legal and technical, appearing in traffic codes and engineering documents rather than everyday speech: The city designated the boulevard a major trafficway.
It encompasses everything from highways to local streets—any path where vehicles travel.
