Abstract:
North Carolina's original approach to highway construction was connecting county seat to county seat and principle towns via a primary system. These roads were built from 1920 to 1940, and sufficient to meet the needs of later decades. However, after World War II, there was a tremendous need to build secondary and rural roads. With the focus on secondary roads, the primary road program has been neglected, despite increased traffic and a rising death toll on the highways.

Abstract:
A new road program has been proposed by the President and sent to Congress' Advisory Committee for the National Highway Program. The Committee's recommendations are in two parts: a continuation of the regular federal aid to highways at the rate of $623 million a year; and expenditures during the next ten years of an additional $25 billion for the Interstate Highway system. They estimate this amount would construct 40,000 road miles, about 800 per state.
