state road
A supraregional road that is the responsibility and property of a state. In Germany, it usually corresponds to a Landesstraße (state road; called Staatsstraße in Bavaria and Saxony), and in Switzerland to a Nationalstrasse (national road).
Wegen eines Unfalls ist die Staatsstraße 2025 derzeit komplett gesperrt.
Because of an accident, State Road 2025 is currently completely closed.
The word is composed of 'Staat' (state) and 'Straße' (road/street). The 's' in the middle is a linking s that connects the two words. So it literally means a 'Straße des Staates' (road of the state).
