Hello @Kaan and @Andrea,
Thanks for taking the time to post on our site! I hope the Lakers bounce back for you too! (I'm sorry I don't follow basketball..?!)
@Andrea - The main difference between freeways and highways is that in the case of freeways, these roads are separated from the rest of the traffic and can only be accessed by ramps. These ramps (slip roads) allow for speed changes between the freeway. I hope this is helpful to you.
Feel free to ask us any other questions you have!
Cheers,
