Places & Measures

A highway is a major road or route designed for long-distance travel, often connecting cities, towns, or regions. It typically has more lanes than smaller roads and is built for faster-moving traffic. Highways are usually paved and are intended for vehicles like cars, trucks, and buses. They may have fewer intersections and traffic signals, allowing for a smoother flow of traffic. Some highways also have special rules or tolls for access.

A path is a track or way that forms naturally over time as people repeatedly walk over the same area. It may start as a small trail that becomes more defined and visible from constant use. Paths are often found in parks, forests, or rural areas, where they are created by foot traffic as people travel along the same route. These paths may not be formally constructed but are shaped by the movement of individuals who pass over the ground consistently.
