Highway System

The highway system refers to a network of roads designed for faster travel, connecting cities and regions. It includes interstate highways, which are major routes that facilitate long-distance travel and transportation of goods across states. Highways typically have multiple lanes, controlled access, and fewer intersections to maximize safety and efficiency. They are crucial for commerce, emergency services, and daily commuting, playing a vital role in economic growth and connectivity. The system is managed by both federal and state governments, with funding from taxes and tolls to maintain and improve the infrastructure.
