In 1956, Eisenhower passed the Federal Highway Act, which means a public, two lane road was placed across 40,000 miles of our country. It's a quicker way to get somewhere...isn't it cool? The automobiles also get us there faster, and a lot safer. Rather than being in the open air, we have a roof to cover us while we're moving to protect us from wind and such. It's also a faster way to transport people and goods from place to place. The highway was also based off of the German "autobahn", which was a way to help the military transport vehicles quicker.
