A stretch of road where vehicles are not allowed to park, maintaining clear passage for traffic; a clear flight path for aircraft.
From clear (unobstructed passage) plus way (path or road). British term combining the noun 'clear' meaning unobstructed space with 'way' meaning a route or passage.
Clearways are an invisible infrastructure—most people don't think about why certain streets have no parking, but those rules can save hours of commute time by keeping traffic flowing. It's a great example of how invisible rules shape our lives.
