Choose the correct answer
Local street with footpaths
Expressway (freeway) — access only at designated interchanges, no at-grade crossings or direct property access
Urban arterial road
Village road (no control needed there either but for different reasons)
Correct Answer
B. Expressway (freeway) — access only at designated interchanges, no at-grade crossings or direct property access
Why is this the answer?
Access control: restriction of entry/exit from highway. Levels: (1) Full access control (expressway/freeway): entry/exit ONLY at designated interchanges — no at-grade crossings, no direct property access; (2) Partial: some control (arterial roads with some access points); (3) No control: any property can access road. India: National Expressways under NHAI have full access control. Mumbai-Pune, Yamuna Expressway = examples of access-controlled highways.
