His point standsFor his point to stand, you have to provide supporting evidence. Perhaps if you understood this point:
"You should read about infrastructure sometime"
You would have some solid information, but just in case you are using a library computer, or your sisters laptop... let me google that for you? Yes?
"A plain old “road,” for instance, is a general term for any throughway that connects two points. Like a square is also a rectangle, streets and avenues are types of roads.
“Streets” are public roads that have buildings on both sides. They’re often perpendicular to “avenues,” which historically were grander and wider. These days, the difference tends to be directional.
In Denver, for instance, naming conventions dictate that Streets run north-south and avenues run east-west. In Manhattan, it’s the opposite, with “Avenues” running north-south and streets running east-west. This isn’t always the case, though: in Washington, D.C., avenues run diagonal to the street grid."
So... Roads have different dimensions. The roads of Rome were wide enough for a legion to march 4 abreast, and have chariots pass one another at speed. I would think that a modern freeway would differ having 4x10 wide lanes in each direction, with two shoulders, and inner shoulder 10' wide, and a outer shoulder at least 15" wide. ( so you can change fill your car with gasoline from the drivers side. ).
So... by this single example, I have proved his point, and disproved yours.
The construction is different too, but that would only lend credit to his case.
