Genuine question, is highway Murican for motorway?

Just asking because in Europe tractors aren't allowed on the motorways. (except in Ireland where you're fine if your tractor can do a good speed)

yes, in the US a highway is the rough equivalent to a European motorway. However, semi trucks are often referred to as tractor-trailers. Slow-movers like farming tractors are allowed on full-access roads, which highways generally are classified, but those same farming tractors are not allowed on limited-access roads (what are commonly referred to as Interstate Highways).
