ROADS OF THE WORLD
Dear HIW,
Of all the countries in the world, which has the most roads? And how much space is covered in roads there?
Graham Rainsley
The United States has more road space than any other country in the world. Its roadways make up more than 3.7 million miles, with China having the second most at close to 3.1 million miles. Most of these roads are connected. Interestingly, the world’s widest freeway also tracks across the US. The Katy Freeway, also known as Interstate 10, has 26 lanes.
