Interstate and Defense Highway System
 
['ɪntəsteɪt ænd 'dɪfens 'haɪweɪ 'sɪstɪm], ein autobahnähnlich ausgebautes Fernstraßennetz in den USA, das alle wichtigen Städte und Industriegebiete verbindet. Obwohl es nur rd. 1 % der Länge des klassifizierten Straßennetzes umfasst, trägt es etwa 20 % des Straßenverkehrsaufkommens. Bau, Erhaltung und Betrieb unterliegen den Bundesstaaten, der Bund trägt jedoch etwa 90 % der Investitionskosten; finanziert werden diese Ausgaben über zweckgebundene straßenverkehrsbezogene Abgaben, die dem Highway Trust Fund (HTF) über die Mineralöl-, Lkw- und Kfz-Steuer zufließen.
