The State Highway System refers to a network of roads and highways that are maintained by individual states in the United States. These roads are crucial for facilitating transportation, connecting cities, towns, and rural areas. Each state manages its own system, which can include various types of roads, such as interstates, state routes, and local roads. Funding for the State Highway System typically comes from a combination of state and federal sources, including fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees. The system plays a vital role in economic development, allowing for the efficient movement of goods and people across the state and beyond.
