Expressways and freeways are not rare in other countries. There are quite a lot.


Just so you know, since there are no at-grade intersections at all in the first video, some people will use the word "freeway" for what you showed instead of using the word "expressway".

TIL EDSA is at least part freeway. But EDSF doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well.

In the Philippines, "expressway" is actually considered equivalent to "freeway". (Actually, "freeway" is mostly unheard of, "motorway" even more so.) Examples: NLEx, SLEx, SCTEx, TPLEx are all freeways. I would think that they don't call them freeways because of the confusion that might be caused by all of them being tolled.

Also, note that this is supposed to be a freeway, which should be an 80~100 km/h road, yet the speeds rarely go past 60, especially in the most traveled areas (around Makati and Quezon City are the worst).

I called C-5 Limited access road but I'm not the person filming. I was thinking arterial or the San Jose criteria for Expressways in CA.
