Expressways are high-speed, divided highways with limited entry and exit points designed for traffic moving between cities or through urban areas. They are separated from local traffic and have distinct features--such as gentle curves, six or eight lanes, access ramps, and lane markings to help reduce congestion. There are three types of expressways in India: National Expressways, State Expressways, and Bypass Expressways.
