§ 172. Definition of a controlled-access facility.

For the purposes of this subchapter, a controlled-access facility is defined as a highway or street especially designed for through traffic, and over, from or to which owners or occupants of abutting land or other persons have no right or easement or only a controlled right or easement of access, light, air or view by reason of the fact that their property abuts upon such controlled-access facility or for any other reason. Such highways or streets may be freeways open to use by all customary forms of street and highway traffic, or they may be parkways from which trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles shall be excluded.
