autostrada cu plata vs. autostrada gratis


Explanation:
in California- "freeways"- gratis
in New York, "highways". Ambele sunt foarte largi si cu multe benzi. Diferenta rezida in accesul cu/fara plata.

neutral  Tudor Soiman: It's a mistake non-engineers often make - toll highways are called turnpikes. "Free" in "freeway" doesn't meen you don't have to pay for access but that the traffic is "free-flowing" autostrăzi nu autostrade
