Evidence that the vice president presents that the state of America's highways is indeed a problem is that the highway net is inadequate locally, and obsolete as a national system. The roads were governed by terrain, existing Indian trails, cattle trails, arbitrary section lines. They were for local movement at low speeds. They were updated some for increased power, but they needed to look at what the future (10 years from then) would need.
The specific problems this plan is intended to solve is to properly articulate systems that solves problems of speedy, safe, transcontinental travel; intercity communication; access highways; and farm-to-market movement; metropolitan area congestion; bottlenecks; and parking. With making the interstate highway system he feels (with cooperation and maximum of state and local initiative and control) they can make a program which will deal with the problems effectively.
