Your use wasn't incorrect. A freeway is one kind of highway.
Highway
Freeway
If it isn't a freeway then it is a toll road

I have been guilty of using "highway" to refer to a freeway, and have been immediately corrected by the friends I was speaking with. . I believe that 30 or 40 years ago, "highway" would have been correct, or at least acceptable, but many people now make a sharp distinction between freeways and highways. . I get confused in London when I get a ride on a Lorrie, then take a lift to my flat. Image Editing OK

Not sure what people see here. I get a spelling error with color. When I refer to colour profiles in editing software I use color when referring to how it is spelt on the software. People see what you typed: colour, color, spelling, spelt (we down south write "spelled").

So would the Windmills thread. Show us your Clouds? Not a great landscape -- it barely fits that, so probably not there. Definitely works for the Show us your Schoolbuses thread. And the bus has Windows -- yup, Let's See Your Windows thread. Roads thread maybe?
