"Get your motor running, head out on the highway"! The Interstate highway system (officially the "Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways") authorized by the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 and supported by former US President Eisenhower, who had been impressed by the German Autobahn system, is a network of roadways interconnecting the nation. It was originally intended as part of a national defense system by which goods and arms could be transported cross-country in case of a national emergency. Today the nearly 48 thousand miles (77,000 kilometers) of road are mostly used by vacationers, tourists and commuters. Nowadays it would be unthinkable to get by without the Interstate. From shore to shore, from border to border, the Interstate connects the whole USA.
