main road
noun main roads
- A major road in a town or village, or in a country area. Until the main road from Hatfield to Hertford was diverted a few years ago, heavy lorries trundling through the village sometimes knocked chunks off corner buildings, but now the village has regained much of its former tranquillity.
- A major urban road, off which lead many smaller streets, many of them cul-de-sacs. Living near the main road means you hear a lot of traffic noise.
- High Street; Main Street
- A priority road; a road where entering traffic must yield right of way.
