Morphology

truckway = truck + way (transparent) = truck + way

Formed by compounding 'truck' + 'way' and directly denotes a road for trucks, which is easily inferred by learners.

Etymology

The word truckway is made from truck and way, where way means 'road' just like in motorway. So a truckway is a special road built for trucks to move more quickly and avoid smaller city streets.
