Overview

Without a first class system of interstate highways, life in America would be far different — it would be more risky, less prosperous, & lacking in the efficiency & comfort that Americans now enjoy & take for granted.

Consider this: it has saved the lives of at least 187,000 people; it has prevented injuries to nearly 12 million people; it has returned more that $6 in economic productivity for each $1 it cost, & much more. Photos. Charts & tables.

    Biased defense of a bad idea

    The interstate highway system has mired the United States in a perpetual road-building straightjacket. This biased book defends road-building, road-construction and the associated companies that make billions off a scheme that has destroyed the quality of life and transportation choices for hundreds of millions of people.
