Parkway (English spelling)

Japanese: パークウェー(英語表記)parkway
Parkway (English spelling)
A highway is a main road that aims to make driving itself a recreational activity and serves as a park for drivers. For this reason, it is planned in areas with good scenery, has grade separations with other roads, and structurally limits the free entry and exit of vehicles from the roadside, allowing for fast and comfortable driving. The first such parkway was the Bronx River Parkway, built in New York State in the 1920s, and its success led to the construction of parkways in various places.

Japanese:
ドライブすること自体がレクリエーションとなることを目的とし,ドライバーにとって公園の役割を果たす幹線道路をいう。このため景観の優れた地区に計画され,他の道路とは立体交差し,また沿道からの車の自由な出入りを構造的に制限して,高速かつ快適なドライブが可能なように配慮されている。1920年代にアメリカのニューヨーク州で建設されたブロンクス・リバー・パークウェーが第1号で,その成功によって各所に建設されるようになった。
