Non-Parkways except for the old

[Mark68]

I grew up in Southern California. Therefore, I consider all limited-access highways freeways. But I'm also aware of the distinction (in Cal) between freeways and expressways. Expressways (to me) are high-speed highways, generally with 4+ lanes and raised medians, with signalized intersections at the main cross-streets.

Now, in the Denver area where I currently live, there are streets that are called "parkways". They usually retain their actual street designation, but traverse residential neighborhoods (generally nicer, older homes) and have very wide grassy, tree-lined medians with (usually) 30 MPH speed limits. For instance, E 6th Ave Pkwy & Monaco St Pkwy.

The two actually intersect here:

My parents use to refer to John Young Parkway in Orlando as John Young Highway as it was more like a highway when it first opened.  However, now its a heavily used arterial in a suburban setting.

My parents also used to call Sand Lake Road nearby as Sand Lake Hill.  Don't ask me where they came up with that one, but to answer the OP its all used interchangeably depending on the person.
