state roads
State roads are highways maintained by a state's transportation agency, designed to connect cities, towns, and regions within the state. They serve as important routes for daily commuting, commercial transportation, and travel, often complementing Interstate highways. State roads typically have route numbers and signs indicating their identity. They vary in size from small local roads to larger, multi-lane highways, and are essential for regional mobility and economic activity. Proper maintenance ensures safe and efficient travel, supporting the movement of people and goods across the state.
