"Freeway" means a highway in respect to which the owners of
abutting lands have no right or easement of access to or from their
abutting lands or in respect to which such owners have only limited
or restricted right or easement of access.  If, in the judgment of
the commission or the director, the public interest would be advanced
thereby, a freeway, as defined herein, may be denominated a
"controlled access highway".  In all other respects, the "controlled
access highway" shall be subject to all provisions of this code
pertaining to freeways.
