The Messeschnellweg is a four-lane motor road in Hanover. It connects the two sections of the A37.
The Messeschnellweg begins in the north in the district of Groß-Buchholz at junction 5, Hanover-Misburg, A37. It runs in a southerly direction east of the Hanover city, centre through the Eilenriede. Then it passes the eponymous exhibition centre in the district Mittelfeld (de) and ends in Laatzen-Mitte. Here it goes back into the A37 (junction 11 fairgrounds), while at the same time the B6 branches off to the south. [1]
The preparations for the construction of the Messeschnellweg already began in 1949. Together with the Südschnellweg, the Westschnellweg and other expressways, it is part of the concept developed by the then city planner Rudolf Hillebrecht to guide long-distance traffic around the city center. The construction of the highway through the middle of the Hanover city forest Eilenriede led to violent protests in the population, [2] which resulted finally in 1956 the city constituted the Eilenriede Advisory Board. [3]
The expressway is developed as a four-lane motor road. It is crossing-free since 1998 (completion of the underpass at the Pferdeturmkreuzung ) and partly has a stand track. A traffic control system makes it possible to use this as an additional lane for major events. During the big trade fairs (Hannover Messe, around the turn of the millennium the Cebit, later the Agritechnica) the Messeschnellweg is regulated as a one-way street at peak times (arrival and departure, sometimes only on the busiest days), so that four lanes can be driven in one direction are.

The Messeschnellweg in the north in the district of Groß-Buchholz at the junction Hannover-Misburg in the "Moorautobahn" A37 , which in turn merges later at Burgdorf in the B3 in the direction of Celle . The motorway junction Hannover / Kirchhorst also reaches the A7.
In the northern section to the Seelhorst cross the Messeschnellweg is part of the B3, south of it part of the B6. At the Seelhorst cross crosses the Südschnellweg and thus the B65.
South of the fairgrounds at the city limits with Laatzen the Messeschnellweg goes back to the A37. At the junction Hannover-Messegelände the B6 branches off to the south, which shortly afterwards crosses the B443. The A37 leads in the interchange Hannover-Süd on the A7.

The John F. Kennedy Expressway is a nearly 18-mile-long (29 km) freeway in Chicago, Illinois, United States. The freeway runs in a southeast–northwest direction between the central city neighborhood of the West Loop and O'Hare International Airport and was named in memory of the 35th U.S. President, John F. Kennedy. It conforms to the Chicago-area term of using the word expressway for an Interstate Highway without tolls. The Interstate 90 (I-90) portion of Chicago's Kennedy Expressway is a part of the much longer I-90. The Kennedy's official endpoints are the Circle Interchange with Interstate 290 and the Dan Ryan Expressway at the east end, and the O'Hare Airport terminals at the west end. Another road, the I-190 portion of the Kennedy, is 3.07 miles (4.94 km) long and serves airport traffic. I-90 picks up the Kennedy designation and runs a further 6.29 miles (10.12 km), before joining with I-94 for the final 8.44 miles (13.58 km).

Typically, it is meant to improve traffic flow during rush hours, by having overhead traffic lights and lighted street signs notify drivers which lanes are open or closed to driving or turning.

The degree of isolation from local traffic allowed varies between countries and regions. The precise definition of these terms varies by jurisdiction.

U.S. Route 301 is a part of the U.S. Highway System that runs from Sarasota, Florida to Biddles Corner, Delaware. In Virginia, the U.S. Highway runs 142.70 miles (229.65 km) from the North Carolina state line near Skippers north to the Maryland state line at the Potomac River near Dahlgren. US 301 forms the local complement to Interstate 95 (I-95) from Emporia to Petersburg. The U.S. Highway runs concurrently with US 1 between Petersburg and the state capital of Richmond, where the highways form one of the main north–south avenues. US 301 continues north concurrent with Virginia State Route 2 to Bowling Green, forming an eastern alternative to I-95 and US 1 north of Richmond. At Bowling Green, which is connected to I-95 by SR 207, US 301 becomes the primary highway connecting Richmond and the Northern Neck with Southern Maryland. US 301 was constructed in four main segments: as the original SR 24 and then US 17-1 south of Petersburg, as US 1 from Petersburg to Richmond, as SR 2 from Richmond to Bowling Green, and as part of SR 207 toward Dahlgren. US 301 replaced US 17-1 in the early 1930s and was extended from Petersburg north along its current course into Maryland when the Potomac River Bridge was completed in 1940.
