What were the roads like in 1933?

In 1933, roads in the United States were generally unpaved and in poor condition, especially outside urban areas. Many rural roads were dirt or gravel, making travel difficult, particularly in adverse weather. The rise of the automobile led to increased demand for better infrastructure, prompting government initiatives to improve and pave roads, which would eventually lay the groundwork for the modern highway system. However, significant advancements in road quality and construction would not fully materialize until the mid-20th century.
