You're thinking of the Strategic Highway Network, which, together with the Interstates, is less than half of the entire NHS mileage. The NHS is a much larger system of main roads, as well as intermodal connectors (inventoried separately). "The advantage of NHS is that it encourages states to focus on a limited number of high-priority routes and to concentrate on improving them with federal-aid funds." http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/publicroads/96spring/p96sp2.cfm [the use of "high-priority routes" here is confusing, since it's not the same as the "High Priority Corridors" defined by Congress] _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
