Much like a stroad is a street and a road combined into an unholy abomination, a strighway is a street and a highway combined into something even worse.
In other words, it has businesses on either side like a street, but heavy high speed traffic like a highway. It’s not effective as a street because of the intense car traffic and poor walkability, nor is it effective as a highway because of the density of exits and people getting off.
Features of a strighway include giant strip malls on either side featuring supermarkets and chain restaurants, 5-lane main roads with 2-lane frontage/access roads on either side, billboards for injury lawyers, and interchanges with other strighways that are impossible to navigate.

Examples of strighways include the Katy Expressway near Houston, I-35 through San Antonio/Austin, and George Bush Turnpike in DFW. There are also strighways outside of Texas, like the Jersey Turnpike, but they’re most prominent in Texas.

Get the hoisting a straightway mug.Almost the same thing as a gaytway. The difference is that a straightway is someone who is used to help someone else look less gay by being involved in a relationship with them. This person is the opposite sex, or simply not the same sex, as the person being “helped”. The person “helping” is not aware that they are being used.
Person 1: did you see that gay boy Anthony is dating that hot cheerleader?
Person 2: yes, but she’s just his straightway. He’s trying to prove to his cholos that he’s not a homosexual.
Person 1: Oh my gosh you and Jeffry are so cute together! Ima cry at how cute you two are!
Person 2: Tina ;-; I already told you I’m just trying to prove to my parents that I’m not a lesbian. He’s just my straightway.
