allowable longitudinal slopes for highway road construction
Increased suburbanization is the development that resulted from the construction of the interstate highway system.
The Highway Code does not specify road position for cyclists, however it is best practice for cyclists to 'take the lane' and ride in a prominent position in areas where it would be dangerous for motorists to overtake. The practice of 'taking the lane' has come about due to the overwhelming numbers of motorists who will attempt overtakes on blind bends and narrow roads, risking their lives along with the lives of the cyclists and oncoming traffic in the process.
Funds for federal highway construction. Each state is allocated certain $$ amounts to spend on highway construction ... the states then allocate it further to local government as they deem necessary.
Australia's longest road bridge is the Hornibrook Highway, linking the northern suburbs of Brisbane, Queensland, with the Redcliffe Peninsula. The 2.8km two-lane Hornibrook Highway was opened on 4 October 1935. Still Australia's longest road bridge, it has a single central arch where the channel of the Pine River runs, allowing for fishing craft to pass underneath. Deterioration of the bridge through the years necessitated the building of a new bridge, and a replacement three lane bridge, the Houghton Highway, was opened in 1979. The Hornibrook Highway is now used only for pedestrians and cyclists and remains a popular fishing spot.

i not sure why a highway is called a highway but a highway is a main road connecting to main city's. It originated as a word for Roman roads, which in the middle ages were the main roads and of much better construction than contemporary ones. One major difference in the construction of Roman roads was that they were raised in the center (i.e. high) to improve drainage whereas the majority of contemporary roads were flat as it simplified construction.

The Trans-Amazonian Highway ,called the Transamazonica in Brazil, was inaugurated on August 30, 1972.
I am not sure I need to know too. Maybe because of a tornado or it is not safe to do construction on it and it is easier to do it on a highway.
