It travels the high way

PLANE

This winged giant soars where roads can’t reach.

The clue plays on the double meaning of "high way." While it sounds like "highway" (a road), it’s hinting at something that travels high in the sky—a "plane." The word "high" is the key, shifting the focus from ground travel to air travel. It’s a clever twist where the answer is hidden in plain sight by reinterpreting a common phrase.
