Yeah downtown to me means lights every block, some towns are absolutely like that, but they’re not on any “shipping” or major highways. So if you’re traveling across country, you’re not going to be on those highways anyways.

I guess there are two types of highways:

freeways - no lights, and what I usually refer to when I say "highway"
inter-city highway - pretty much like any other road, but there's a constant name between cities - usually get replaced by freeways, but keep the name (e.g. State Street in Utah, 516 in WA [272nd coming off I-18], etc)

My understanding is that most people don't refer to the second as a highway, they're just arterial roads most people in the area are familiar with.
