because Eisenhower
because ford/gm shills said so
because we're basically gods
We troops and equipment could very easily be mobilized in the time of war
It's a very big place.
thats how 1st work look
Those are only the interstate highways. Each state also has it's own highway system.
Because USA are big
They cannot turn in their cars
Our entire infrastructure is based on cars
You actually have it backwards
>tfw you will never be an american trucker
you can drive with me user. get your cdl and we can drive as a team.
no it's not
if it weren't for railroads, transportation prices in the us would be way higher
Us rail is almost entirely freight
Anti-rail a*toshills
Jews of course
that is just interstates, pic related contains more highways
Because we're always high
I90 and I80 are the chad interstates
I live right by I-35
Good goys
No, I 95 is the chaddest interstate it goes from nothern Maine to Southern Florida.
what did he mean by this
I70 is the best
Wrong
Eisenhower put the interstates in place because otherwise it took him 62 days to travel from D.C. to San Fran, now about 5 days, and because he liked the autobahn
They're called FREEways. You know because FREEDOM.
They don't seem that much tb h
more and better highways = more oil consumption = more shekels for him
LIFE IS A HIGHWAY
I WANNA SUCK YOUR DADDYS DONG
That is only the Interstate road system. I know it might be a little hard for a European to comprehend what that is, but them is big road, beep beep.
Holy shit, do our eastern neighbors really not have roads?!
China has more:
We bought ours with huge loans.
No one is retarded enough to grant huge loans to Bosnia so they can't build any.
What happens here?
Mining here and there. It's mostly uninhabitable, desu.
>For the President, the Formosa crisis illustrated the need for the Interstate System. He worried about evacuating Washington and other cities in the event of a nuclear attack. He knew the present roads were inadequate for that purpose. Still, in a meeting with legislative leaders on January 11, 1955, the Formosa crisis prompted a discussion of what would happen in the event of a nuclear attack on the United States. The President said he was worried about an atomic bomb attack, which prompted him to suggest the need for a plan to relocate Congress in an emergency.
tl;dr they needed roads for the military
they kill people
How is that wrong? I have driven it from MA to Florida
The auto industry wanted it to sell their product and the military wanted it to move equipment/troops quickly in the event of a major war.
How was the drive?
Is there a nice view on the way?.
I felt it was maintained better up north but yeah I enjoyed it. I went during spring so it was interesting going through such different climates rather quickly.
A friend and I drove a figure 8 across country before and naturally the views were nicer and more diverse. The midwest and Pacific northwest are unbelievable to road trip through
