Hypertext Webster Gateway: "highway"

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary (easton)

Highway
a raised road for public use. Such roads were not found in
Palestine; hence the force of the language used to describe the
return of the captives and the advent of the Messiah (Isa.
11:16; 35:8; 40:3; 62:10) under the figure of the preparation of
a grand thoroughfare for their march.

During their possession of Palestine the Romans constructed
several important highways, as they did in all countries which
they ruled.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (web1913)

Highway \High"way`\, n.
A road or way open to the use of the public; a main road or
thoroughfare.

Syn: Way; road; path; course.

From WordNet (r) 1.7 (wn)

highway
n : a major road for any form of motor transport [syn: {main
road}]
