Here's the Washington State data for highways and state routes:

This is already being done for US state and federal highways, funded by public sources which means the resulting imagery is in the public domain. We've worked with some of this imagery, and many highway departments have hi def cameras taking still shots every 10m looking forward and at 45 degrees. They drive both ways down the road, and you get an interesting 360 degree view of the road. The interesting part is that 180 degrees of that view is at one time (the first pass down the road) and then the next 180 degree view is at a later time. The State of Connecticut alone has terabytes of photos, taken in both directions on every state road each year for many years. This data is unambiguously in the public domain. We all should be working to get more of it on the web and make sure it stays there!
