	Highway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Brazil, highways (or expressway/freeway) are named "rodovia", and Brazilian highways are divided in two types: regional highways (generally of less importance and entirely inside of one state) and national highways (of major importance to the country).
		National highways connects multiples states altogether, are of major importance to the national economy and/or connects Brazil to another country.
		Generally, a highway is a road which has multiple lanes of traffic in each direction, often with a physical division (median) between opposing traffic, and separate access ramps to and from the highway which are more widely separated than connections on a standard road and are often grade-separated.

	State and County Trunk Highway System: Later Road Development: Wisconsin History Explorer of the Wisconsin Historical Society
		In 1925 the CTH system was formally established by the legislature as a secondary highway system.
		Uniform signs were used to mark the system across the state and each county board was responsible for marking, signing, and maintaining the roads in their county as well as the bridges on the highways.
		The county was required to select the system of highways on which the improvements were to be made and elect a county highway commissioner to carry out the improvements.

	Interstate Highway System: Later Road Development: Wisconsin History Explorer of the Wisconsin Historical Society
		Nationally, with connection of the control points, the interstate highway system would serve 90 percent of the cities in the United States with populations over 50,000, 65 percent of the urban population, and 50 percent of the rural population.
		It provided for the selection of a federal aid secondary system (the farm-to-market roads) and it called upon the states and the Public Roads Administration to designate a national system of interstate highways, not to exceed 40,000 miles connecting state capitals, principal metropolitan areas, cities, and industrial centers by direct routes.
		Although the interstate highway system was not completed nationwide until the 1970s, it had been in the planning stages for nearly half a century.

	Motor Vehicle Trunk Entrapment Report to Congress
		Data from these systems are used to answer requests for information from the international and national highway traffic safety communities, including state and local governments, the Congress, Federal agencies, research organizations, industry, the media, private citizens, and the NHTSA engineering and management staff.
		STUDY - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shall conduct a study of the benefits to motor vehicle drivers of a regulation to require the installation in a motor vehicle of an interior device to release the trunk lid.
		Both systems were designed and developed by NHTSA's National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) to provide an overall measure of highway safety, to help identify traffic safety problems, to suggest solutions, and to help provide an objective basis on which to evaluate the effectiveness of motor vehicle safety standards and highway safety initiatives.

	Ness Snorlaxia - NSwiki
		The largest of these is the Victoria Broadcasting System (VBS), based in a small town located in Victoria state.
		Kaxue LXXXII of Ness Snorlaxia marked the turning point of the nation, as he was not interested in the colonies in Super Mario Bros. They were granted independence, but later, under Hurchxuu III, Doruxy VI, and Arujuxuruanduru VI, re-conquered the area in a long war.
		During the 18th and 19th century, the semi-ancient structures were replaced with more more modern and democratic institutions, and the nation went through a new era of changes, mainly through rapid industrialization and the introduction of liberalism.

	Highway Spending
		While trunk highways account for only 9 percent of the miles of roads in Minnesota, they are the “backbone” of the state's road system and carry nearly 60 percent of the state's traffic.
		Our study was limited to an examination of the trunk highway system and did not include an assessment of highway funding adequacy for counties and cities, which would also benefit from an increase in highway user taxes.
		Highway spending does not necessarily need to grow as fast as the growth in traffic, particularly when there is excess capacity in the highway system.

	Hard Times and War Times - Great War and Great Depression 3
		In 1917, the legislature authorized the state highway commission to draw up a trunk highway system that would connect every county seat and every city with a population greater than 5,000.
		In addition to the state trunk system between cities, the state shared funding with the counties for "farm-to-market" roads to link farmers to the railroad depots they still depended on for long-distance shipping.
		Since it was not a county seat and did not have a population of 5,000, Marshfield was not automatically on the state trunk system.

	Wikinfo Freeway
		In the United States, many freeways are part of the Interstate Highway System, which superseded the largely at-grade United States highway system (though most of the latter highways are still in use).
		The concept of limited-access automobile highways dates back to the New York City area Parkway system, which began to be constructed in 1907 - 1908.
		Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are also increasingly used, with cameras to monitor and direct traffic, so that police, fire, ambulance, tow, or other assistance vehicles can be dispatched as soon as there is a problem, and to warn drivers via variable message signs, radio, television.

		While these systems are being improved and extended in Europe, North America and Japan, development of traditional rail lines is a priority in Asia.
		In addition, the global water transport system is being extended by new projects to improve waterways.
		During recent years we have discussed the concept of a great global highway (see map) that would connect five continents and more than 100 of the world's most important cities.

	Minnesota Historic Sites: Split Rock Lighthouse Lake Superior International Highway
		Renamed Trunk Highway 61 to eliminate duplication of numbers in an expanded highway system in 1934, the Lake Superior International Highway's development allowed tourism to develop and flourish along the North Shore.
		The North Shore road was originally called Trunk Highway No. 1 and was an important part of Minnesota's highway system when it opened in the mid-1920s.
		Babcock contended that the designation was pointless because Trunk Highway No. 1 had been "designated a National Highway and will be so marked." Besides, it was already well known as an important state highway.

	Serendipity » Blog Archive » Kerala Expressway - some interesting discussions
		While highways and rails compete for transportation, the highway system handles about 66% of all passenger trips (passenger-km) and 53% of all land-based freight traffic (ton-km) as of 1995.
		So the need of the state is to develop the existing national highways and state highways and also to develop the entire cross road network.
		In the second phase, from 1980 to 1988, the Malaysia Highway Authority (MHA) was established to construct and operate the North South Expressway and the Penang Bridge as public toll highways.

		By then Wu's highway was making converts of those who had condemned it as a high-speed safety hazard, or derided it as an "Autostrada del Solo" for its lack of cars.
