sometimes, such as in NYS, the formal road classification uses the term
Freeway to describe things that most of us would consider trunk.

for example, Washington Avenue Extension in Albany, NY has an extended
section with frontage roads and a limited number of grade level,
traffic light controlled intersections. in NYS DOT parlance, it is an
Urban Freeway.
