Roads
The highway system is a convenient way to get around the Continental Union. Whilst it is less effective between certain destinations than other transport systems, the highway system is particularly useful on shorter hops between towns. So far, all towns are connected to the highway system, whilst other transport methods may not be: there are only 3 airports built, whilst there are many more cities.
Road Standards and Properties
Roads are numbered or colourcoded for the purposes of memorability. It also helps to establish units of roads. Primary highways are colourcoded, while smaller highways, secondary and tertiary roads are numbered with a letter indicating its regional importance followed by a number.

Primary Highway with regional/intrastate importance |
White capital letters on any background |
| Axx (eg. A10) |
Secondary Road |
Dark yellow lettering on any background |
| Axxx (eg. A100) |
Tertiary Roads |

| Bxxx (eg. B100) |
Tertiary Roads with a lower standard |

The first number of a road with multiple numbers (so excluding the Ax layouts) usually represent the state the road is located in. If a road crosses one or more state borders, it usually keeps the same number post crossing.
