WHAT DOES ROADWAY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Carriageway

A carriageway consists of a width of road on which a vehicle is not restricted by any physical barriers or separation to move laterally. A carriageway generally consists of a number of traffic lanes together with any associated shoulder, but may be a sole lane in width. A single carriageway road has one carriageway with 1, 2 or more lanes together with any associated footways and road verges. A dual carriageway road has two roadways separated by a central reservation. A local-express lane system has more than two roadways, typically two sets of 'local lanes' or 'collector lanes' and also two sets of 'express lanes'. "Cars only" lanes may be physically separated from those open to mixed traffic including trucks and buses. Roughly the northern half of the New Jersey turnpike in the United States, from Jamesburg to its northern limit in Secaucus, is an example of this design. High-occupancy vehicle lanes may also be physically separated from the remainder of the general traffic lanes as a distinct roadway.
