In terms of airports, you really can only compare them on a world wide
basis, it doesn't matter where a small airport is, it will never have
the same level of importance as a major international hub like LAX.

That doesn't make things less subjective, roads are generally judged
based on similar basis are airports, eg traffic flow, the amount of
lanes/runways, is the road/runway paved, major airports nearby etc.
While highway judgments may be deemed slightly subjective there would
be ways to quantify things objectively as well, but humans tend to do
this without breaking things down, ie show all working out.
