A man turned himself into investigators on Sunday after fatally striking a bicyclist on a highway, then leaving the scene, according to Oregon State Police.
In some rural areas, the “highway” is literally the only way to get from point A to point B. Many businesses and homes are directly on the highway. It’s not the same as Interstate 5 which is a few miles west of there.
Unlike a freeway, which has bigger speed limits, a highway is just any road designed for high traffic. It still has intersections, traffic lights, and driveways into properties.

Repeating from another post, but thanks for the clarity. Grew up in a place where these words were interchangeable.
