Freeway is an interstate, Highway is an intrastate. Interstate goes state-to-state, intrastate is within a state.

A freeway does not have intersections with stop signs or stop lights. All freeways use on-ramps and off ramps, and intersections are accomplished with cloverleafs, and no stopping is necessary (expect at rush hour!). The opposing lanes are divided, or at least have a concrete barrier between them.
Highways are main roads, but they can include stoplights at intersections, left turns into traffic lanes, and are often not divided.
Some freeways are toll roads; and judging from road taxes, the "free" in freeway has nothing to do with money.

Freeways go across states and they don't have any sort of stop
there are some freeways that are only local to a give state
Highways on the other hand are the huge local roads and they can have traffic lights on them.

A highway is generally owned by the state, in which you live. its costs and maintenance are provided also by your state. a freeway or interstate system, is a product of the federal government. the share cost and maintenance of the portion of interstate system through each state, is shared on a percentage basis. example: the federal government pays 70% of costs and maintenance and each state or county, pays 30%. the states own the highways. the federal government owns the freeway/interstate system. end
Freeway: Limited access highway: using specific exit and entrances which are limited access only to each specific entry point.
Highway: Full access highway: not restricted by access by means of traffic lights and cross streets or roads.

I believe freeways have limited access (ramps) where there are no control devices at intersections. Vehicles are free to move in a forward direction at all times without having to stop for cross traffic.
