Abstract from DBPedia
    A road is a linear way for the conveyance of traffic that mostly has an improved surface for use by vehicles (motorized and non-motorized) and pedestrians. Unlike streets, the main function of roads is transportation. There are many types of roads, including parkways, avenues, controlled-access highways (freeways, motorways, and expressways), tollways, interstates, highways, thoroughfares, and local roads. The primary features of roads include lanes, sidewalks (pavement), roadways (carriageways), medians, shoulders, verges, bike paths (cycle paths), and shared-use paths.

    道路（どうろ、ラテン語 strata、 フランス語 route、ドイツ語 Straße、英語 road、スペイン語 calle）とは、人や車両などが通行するための道、人や車両の交通のために設けられた地上の通路である。
