Road, highway, motorway: one emoji

CLDR, Unicode’s list of search words, gives Motorway three: highway, motorway and road. Nothing is filed under street, lane or route. By Wikipedia, motorway, freeway and expressway are common English names for one thing, a controlled-access highway.

Road signs Unicode took from Japan

Unicode’s character list files a set of symbols under the heading Traffic signs from ARIB STD B24, a Japanese broadcasting standard, and notes what they mean: ⛒ road closed, ⛐ icy road, ⛛ drive slow. The lane merge and two-way signs are marked left side traffic. They are plain characters, so a device with no font for them shows an empty box.

Questions and answers

Is there a highway emoji?

The same tile, 🛣️. No emoji has highway, freeway or street in its name. Desert highway and City limits are combos built on it.

How do you make a road with keyboard symbols?

Copy | ¦ |: two bars for the kerbs and a broken bar for the centre line. Repeat it on new lines and the road gets longer. For a flat one, === === === is plain ASCII.

Is there a road sign emoji?

Several. Stop sign, Construction, Children crossing and No entry are emoji, and CLDR files the last two under traffic. The ten sign characters after them are plain symbols with no emoji form.
