national highway
Cross-country federal route
A national highway is a major road that forms part of a country's primary transportation network, typically connecting major cities and regions.
These highways are usually built and maintained by the federal or national government rather than state or local authorities.
In the United States, the term often refers to routes in the Interstate Highway System or other federally designated roads: We took the national highway from Denver to Salt Lake City.
