Roads, Highways and Motorways



LI: To understand the difference between roads, highways and motorways. 

This week for inquiry we had to find out what is the difference between roads, highways and motorways. First  we found a pair and in the pair we had to watch 3 videos. 1 video was about how to make a road and another was about what are roads and their was an interesting video that had information about lane, streets, roads, crescents, place, close, arcade, drive and Avenue. We found out out the difference to all those. We made a DLO to record our information on it. Here is some of the information. 
  • A crescent is a road that resembles a crescent and attach to a road at both ends.
  • Narrow road oftenly in a rural area. Lanes are made for only single line of vehicles. Lanes are apart of roadways  to control and guide drivers and reduce traffic conflicts Lanes are for the country sides.
  • A road can be anything that can connect to two points. A road is also like connecting one road in between two different roads to get to another road that you are on.
    • Streets is a public road in a city, that has building on each side. Streets often go 90° to avenues. Which has trees or buildings on each side to. On a street you might find people walking their dogs. Streets connect people for interaction , While roads connect towns and cities to travel.
    • Drives takes their indication from the environment. Streets are public roads in towns, cities or villages. It is apart of highways, road ways and motorways.
