Imagine trying to take a trip across the country. You’re driving on a paved highway and then it turns into a dirt road before it ends altogether. Trying to get across the continent means you have to follow a mishmash of routes, some poorly marked, some not even on your map. Most of us take for granted that we have a great road system in the United States. But it wasn’t always this way. Before Eisenhower became president and signed an act in 1956 that created the interstate highway system, he experienced spotty highways and poor roads as he traveled across the U.S. while serving in the military in the early part of the twentieth century. Decades later, while serving as Commander of the Allied Forces during World War II, he saw first-hand the well-engineered highway system in Germany. Motivated and influenced by these experiences, he believed America needed a top-notch road system to link the nation. Understanding that a network of superior roads serves the collective good of the whole country, legislators in an earlier era voted to allocate federal dollars to create this Interstate System. The current Interstate System is over 46,000 miles long, with individual states owning and operating the segments in their jurisdictions. Our contemporary lives would be impossible without America’s roads and highwaysâ€"among the best in the world. They transport everything we buy and use, and link other modes of transportation such as rail, marine shipping, and air transport. To work, or home, or vacation, America’s roads and highways allow us to go wherever we want to go. They are spectacular achievementsâ€"and victims of their own success. Many of our routes are now so crowded, they exceed the capacity they were designed for. Extra congestion, impatience, and impaired driving lead to increased hazards and numbers of accidents. Carpool lanes, light rail, and streetcars are options adopted in some areas to reduce congestion on our roads. Designs are planned, and others already implemented to improve roads to handle higher vehicle capacities. In the meantime, caution, awareness, and patience can help everyone get down the road more safely. If you are in an accident, you need support.
