Rebecca

“Major” is an adjective meaning “important” or “significant,” so we can see that “major highways” refers to highways that are frequently used or important to driving infrastructure. Ex: Traffic on major highways is always packed during holidays. Ex: Let’s avoid the major highways and take local roads.
