I would have thought so, e.g.:
1. If the A1234, as it passes through the town, takes on various names.
Each individual named bit is the way and the A1234 is the super-way.
2. If the first half mile of Bloggs Street is an unclassified road used
for through traffic and the remaining quarter mile is a residential
street. The unclassified and residential bits are the ways, Bloggs Street
is the superway.
3. Those branched estate roads. Each branched bit could be the way, the
whole thing the superway.
