A gravel road is a type of unpaved road surfaced with gravel that has been brought to the site from

a quarry or stream bed. They may be referred to as 'dirt roads' in common speech, but that term is used
more for unimproved roads with no surface material added. If well-constructed and maintained, a gravel
road is an all-weather road.
The gravel used consists of varying amount of crushed stone, sand, and fines. Fines
are silt or clay particles.

A freeway is a highway designed for high speed traffic, with fully controlled access over entrance to, and
exit from, the highway

TULLAMARINE
Here it is a three lane, high quality dual carriageway, running along the south side of Essendon
Airport and the Direct Factory Outlets shopping complex, the former main airport of Melbourne. At
the Calder Freeway interchange, staying to the right will lead you to the next section of the Tullamarine
Freeway

Highway
A bypass is a road or highway that avoids or "bypasses" a built-up area, town, or village, to let through
traffic flow without interference from local traffic, to reduce congestion in the built-up area, and to
improve road safety.

Principal arterials are the primary routes for traveling throughout the country, from one city to another,
over long distances. Many principal arterials are freeways or expressways, but many others are not.
Highways in the United States are split into at least four different types of systems, Interstate Highways,
U.S. Highways, state highways, and county highways. Highways are generally organized by a route
number or letter. These designations are generally displayed along the route by means of a highway
shield. Each system has its own unique shield design that will allow quick identification to which system
the route belongs. Below is a list of the different highway shields used throughout the United States.

The High Five in Dallas, Texas, United States: an example of interchange design. This is a complicated
five-level stack interchange due to the proximity of frontage roads and high-occupancy vehicle lanes.
This hybrid design is based on parts of a four-level-stack for highways and a three-level-diamond
interchange to handle the frontage roads.

Ramps
A highway ramp (as in exit ramp / off-ramp and entrance ramp / on-ramp) (North American usage) or
slip road is a short section of road which allows vehicles to enter or exit a controlled-
access highway(freeway or motorway).
Roads which connect roadways to other roadways as part of an interchange. This includes all freeway
exits and entrances.

Roads connecting freeways and highways with Rest areas, parking areas, and service plazas (e.g., "to
Service Area").

Median U-turn Intersection (MUTI) and "Michigan left" segments.


J-turn (RCUT/"Superstreet") segments.

Displaced Left Turn (DLT) left turn segments.

RAIL ROADS
a track or set of tracks made of steel rails along which passenger and freight trains run.
A railroad car is a vehicle used for the haulage of either passengers or freight. A multiple unit has
powered wheels throughout the whole train. These are used for rapid transit and tram systems, as well
as many both short- and long-haul passenger trains.

Airport runways and private airstrips may be mapped using the Runway/Taxiway road type. The
Runway/Taxiway type is for display only and must never connect to drivable road segments. If a drivable
road and a runway cross, set the elevation of the road below that of the runway and ensure there is no
connection. Draw each runway as a single segment and lock it to prevent lower-ranking editors from
attaching a road. Do not form junctions where runways cross each other.
