Interstate System

The Interstate System is a network of highways in the United States designed for efficient, high-speed travel across states. Funded and managed mainly by the federal government, these roads connect major cities and regions, facilitating commerce and mobility. Recognizable by their uniform signage, controlled access, and features like multiple lanes and medians, Interstates are built to support long-distance driving with safety and reliability. They are essential for everyday commutes, freight transportation, and national connectivity, helping to link communities while promoting economic growth and regional integration.
