The term HIGH WAYS can be solved by the three letter acronym ELS, which stands for Expressway, Limited-Access Highway, and Scenic Highway. Expressways are roads that are designed for HIGH speed travel and usually have limited access points. Limited-access highways are roads that have limited access points and are designed for HIGH speed travel. Scenic highways are roads that are designed to provide a scenic view of the surrounding area. All three types of roads are considered HIGH ways.
