a little-used road or lane
A byway is a smaller, less-traveled road or path that is often located off the main roads. These routes are typically used for local travel, allowing people to reach more remote or rural areas that are not directly accessible by larger highways. Byways can be narrower and less developed than major roads, and they are often found in beautiful or countryside areas. Despite being less busy, byways are still important for providing alternate routes and access to specific destinations.
