Why is it feminine?
Carreteras is feminine because it derives from the Latin "carreta" (a type of cart or wagon), which was feminine, and Spanish inherited this grammatical gender through the regular sound changes that transformed Latin -a endings into Spanish feminine nouns. The word ultimately traces back to a root meaning "cart" or "vehicle," and words for vehicles and roads in Romance languages often retained feminine gender from their Latin origins.
