How it's used
Refers specifically to elevated road structures or bridges designed for vehicular traffic rather than pedestrian footbridges. It is a formal term often seen in engineering or urban planning contexts, whereas everyday speech might simply use 天橋 for elevated structures or 橋 for bridges in general.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 天橋, which is the standard term for pedestrian overpasses in Hong Kong. Using 路橋 to describe a walkway for people sounds unnatural and overly technical.
