I don't know about "universal in the US", but freeway is generally used
in this area (Michigan). But "expressway" is more universal, since it
includes limited access dual carriageways which require tolls for usage.

This page seems to be a guide to European road signs, targeted at North
Americans (esp. NA'ians who speak English). So I wouldn't put too much
weight in the idea that "expressway" is universal.
For the LDraw parts, I'll (mostly) go along with what everyone wants.
But I tend to agree with Larry, the final term should indicate European
usage, since this is a real-world icon.
