Eighteen feet will be the minimum width of roadway unless conditions justify a lesser width, and such cases must be given special approval. - The system will consist ot not more than 7 per cent of tbe total road mileage in any one state, not more than 7 of which will be primary or interstate highways, and the y remainder secondary or The total .mileage of prihighways. mary and secondary roads wilt be approximately 187,000 miles.
