National Highway System, Truck Network, and Strategic Highway Network [Minnesota]
Description
The National Highway System (NHS) consists of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility, and was developed by the Department of Transportation (DOT) in cooperation with the states, local officials, and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs). National Truck Network is a network of approved routes for commercial truck drivers in the United States. The Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 authorized the establishment of a national network of highways designated for use by large trucks. The Strategic Highway Network (STRAHNET) is a designation given to roads that provide ''Defense access, continuity, and emergency capabilities for movements of personnel and Equipment in both peace and war.''
