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.
