Highways aren't even the concern, stroads are.
The US tends to combine relatively high speed (45-55mph) with a large number of driveways and conflict points.
Many other countries do a better job delineating which roads are meant for getting between towns and cities and which roads are low speed streets that are often shared with pedestrians, cars, bicycles, e-bikes.
Another topic worth doing research on is the concept of traffic calming. Wide, straight roads encourage high speed.
