Geoff:
Yes, I have heard that one.
There are of course a number referring to the roads and
their infrastructure. Ones which come easily to mind are:
Pavement=sidewalk
Roadway=pavement
Dual carriageway=divided highway?
Motorway=Interstate
Level crossing= grade crossing?
Tramway=street car/trolley car?
the last refers to a railway/road crossing. I'm not sure if I've
got the US versions correct where I've put a question mark.
Corrections welcome!
This thread could extend and go on for years!!
Over to you.
