kind of?
well...what's the difference?
For a road to be classified as motorway a number of conditions must be fulfilled. The following conditions generally apply:
*Accessed at junctions by slip roads off the sides of the main carriageway;
*Joined by link-roads at an interchange, the object of which is to allow traffic to change route without stopping or slowing significantly;
*Traffic lights are not permitted (except at toll booths and certain interchanges)
*Have signposted entry and exit points at the start and end;
*Certain types of transport are banned, typically pedestrians, bicycles, learner drivers, horses, agricultural vehicles, underpowered vehicles (e.g. small scooters, invalid carriages).
In the Republic of Ireland, the "Motorway Ahead" sign at every motorway junction lists the excluded classes of vehicles. The same is true for the "Motorway Entrance" sign on motorways in most Australian states. In New Zealand, a no pedestrians and no cycles sign precede the "Motorway Begins" sign to tell pedestrians and cycles that they are not allowed on the motorway.
In the UK and the Republic of Ireland there are further restrictions:
*The central reservation must remain unbroken
*Emergency telephones (which connect directly to the police) must be provided at a regular distance (in the UK emergency telephones are situated at intervals of 1 mile)
*No roundabouts apart from at the start and finish
*Hardshoulder at majority of times
*All roads must be connected at junctions or interchanges only; no roads joining at any other point.
*Junctions must be numbered
*Service stations are more sparcely populated than standard primary routes
