Hey Robby. Goes to show how ignorant you really are. It was built at the time for military and mass trucks only. Later government noticed the need for autos. So really it is a privilege to actually be driving on any of the massive expressive-ways. So before you go spewing off on how dumb people may be maybe you should find out and learn.

Here is your History Lesson for the day. So Robby who is the Fool Now? Initial federal planning for a nationwide highway system began in 1921, when the Bureau of Public Roads asked the Army to provide a list of roads it considered necessary for national defense. This resulted in the Pershing Map. Later that decade, highways such as the New York parkway system were built as part of local or state highway systems.
