1 Answers
About the differences between urban roads and highways are as follows: 1. Urban roads: Constructed by urban construction administrative departments in accordance with the "Urban Road Design Standards," providing engineering facilities for various vehicles (non-rail) and pedestrians to pass, including related bridges, tunnels, and ferries; 2. Highways: Built by highway construction, maintenance, and management departments under the transportation administrative authorities in accordance with the "Highway Engineering Technical Standards," mainly for automobile traffic with certain technical standards and facilities, connecting public roads between cities, urban and rural areas, and villages for automobile traffic, including highway bridges, highway tunnels, and highway crossings; 3. Differences: Urban roads refer to roads within urban areas with certain technical conditions and facilities, necessarily located within urban planning areas, serving the city itself, and emphasizing more on the service and access functions along the route; Highways are roads connecting various cities, urban and rural areas, and villages and industrial and mining areas, not necessarily located within urban planning areas, with their functional positioning serving inter-regional traffic connections, mainly emphasizing traffic functions.
