    In the UK highway just refers to any sort of road, and use the term motorway for roads with higher speed restrictions. I’d say cycle highway or super-highway is fine, where the latter simply refers to a purpose built cycling road that connects towns or cities over large distances.

    Terms get a little muddied when you do a direct translation without accounting for meaning, such as in the above example where people in the Americas have a different idea of what the wording implies compared to someone in Europe.
