When I was learning to drive, I was taken on a superhighway (US equivalent of a motorway) quite early on. Frankly, I've always regarded these roads as some of easier and safer places to drive. Purpose-built and generally well-engineered for the traffic they carry. Also, for long stretches, about the only choice is what speed and which lane to occupy.
Always found in-city traffic and some overcrowded main arteries (equivalent of the UK "A" designated roads) to be far more difficult. Just a lot more complexity.
