state highways

State highways are roads specifically maintained and managed by a state government to connect cities, towns, and regions within a state. They serve as important routes for daily travel, commerce, and transportation, usually larger and better maintained than local roads but smaller than interstate highways. State highways are numbered and marked with signs for easy navigation. They help facilitate efficient movement across the state and often link with other highways, including interstates and local roads. Overall, they are vital infrastructure that supports regional connectivity and economic activity.
