It's common to use the term 'freeway' or 'Interstate' (meaning Interstate Highway/Freeway) to refer to controlled access highways in the US. There's lots of highways in the US that are just 2 lanes, one in each direction, with a speed limit of 55mph and cross traffic from smaller roads that should stop first before turning on the highway in either direction. These are what we usually mean with the word 'highway'.
