Road classification - Freeways
Hello Eesti people,
I'd like to warn you about a point in the manner roads are classified in estonia.
I'm back from a trip in your country, and I was surprised to see 2-way road as freeways.
Regarding the Wikipedia definition : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled-access_highway
A freeway is a highway designed for high speed traffic, with fully controlled access over entrance to, and exit from, the highway.
Best Regards.

There is an option in Navigation parameters, to avoid freeways. (because of the limited-access control) and some of the actual freeways are not these road that need to be avoided if the "avoid freeway" option is turned on.No at-grade crossings.
No at-grade intersections.
No direct property access.
No stop lights (except sometimes on ramps).
No stop signs.
Except at the beginning or end of the controlled-access roadway, connected to other roads exclusively by interchanges:
Entrance via ramps only, typically with acceleration zones.
Exit via ramps only, typically with deceleration zones.
Note: Many freeways continue as non-controlled-access roadways; the road should be set as Freeway until the point at which access becomes non-controlled.
Best Regards.
