List of Similarities
- 1Both skyway and flyover involve being elevated above the ground.
- 2Both can be used for transportation purposes.
- 3Both can be found in urban areas.
- 4Both can be used to alleviate traffic congestion.
- 5Both can be part of a larger transportation system.
What is the difference?
- 1Function: Skyway is primarily used for pedestrian traffic, while flyover is for vehicular traffic.
- 2Design: Skyway is often enclosed and can be climate-controlled, while flyover is open-air and exposed to the elements.
- 3Location: Skyway is typically found within a building or between buildings, while flyover is usually found on highways or major roads.
- 4Size: Flyover is generally larger and longer than skyway.
- 5Usage: Skyway is used for everyday commuting and pedestrian traffic, while flyover is used for high-speed travel and to bypass congested areas.
Remember this!
Skyway and flyover are both elevated structures used for transportation purposes. However, the difference between them is their function, design, location, size, and usage. A skyway is an enclosed pedestrian walkway or elevated highway system that connects buildings or areas, while a flyover is an elevated road or highway that passes over another road or intersection, primarily used for vehicular traffic.
