following paragraphs.
2. Road Classifications
a. Freeway
1) A freeway is a high speed multi-lane divided road with grade separation of all
cross roads and complete control of access. At-grade intersections and direct
access to fronting property are prohibited. Access to and from a freeway is
permitted only by way of on/off ramps or grade separated interchanges. In
addition, all freeways shall be fenced to deter the access of pedestrians and
animals.
(a) Freeways shall be designed for speeds of 120 km/h in urbanized areas
and 140 km/h in rural areas.
b. Expressways
1) Expressways are medium speed multi-lane divided roads with at grade
intersections with other roads and interchanges with freeways. Access to
