What is the Highway Transportation System (HTS)?

HTS is the network of public streets and roads across the United States that moves people and goods. It brings together many different types of users—drivers of cars, buses, and trucks; pedestrians; bicyclists—and the roadways, signs, signals, and rules that guide them. The goal is safe, efficient travel for everyone, so road design and traffic laws are part of this system. It isn’t about private roads or only highways, and it isn’t a rail system. Understanding this helps you as a driver recognize you’re sharing the road with others and must follow laws, yield when required, and stay alert to a wide range of road users.
