Talk:New York State Thruway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I changed freeway to expressway, though I'm not even sure that that's the best term. You don't hear the term freeway much in New York -- and its definitely not free to drive on. The term expressway seems to be limied to certain urban areas. I'd always considered the Thruway as a limited-access or interstate highway with tolls. The Expressway article does link to Freeway which discusses differences in terminology. Nonenmac 18:38, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
After discussing this with some other Thruway users and reading related Wikipedia articles, I changed expressway to highway which is more general and seems to fit. Nonenmac 21:24, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
