This episode is called "Magic Highway, U.S.A.".
This episode from 1958 mostly looks back at the history of roads and travel in America, from the time that America was discovered right up through the creation of the super highways in the 1950s. It shows how slow progress was back when pioneers such as Daniel Boone moved west in the 19th century, how the railroad nearly sounded the deathnell of the highway, and how the creation of the automobile and it's popularity just after the dawn of the 20th century changed things.
There's also a feature of how crowded the roads were getting, even then, and how bad it was forecast to be by the mid 1970s (they had no idea how right they would prove to be on this front), but there also were, in the Walt Disney tradition of ideas, thoughts about what could happen in the future, in relation to cars, roads, and travel that, fortunately would not, or have not come to pass. And we see just how a highway, or any paved road was created back then.
A special note. The vast majority of this episode was narrated by Marvin Miller, who had a long voice-over acting career, which included roles on numerous cartoons, including voicing Aquaman in the Aquaman Filmation series in 1967 and narrating the official highlight films for the Indianapolis 500 in both 1975 and '76, among many other things he voiced over.
All rights and credits go to the Walt Disney Company and those that created the video and the audio , including the music used in the program. That includes the Disney Channel, which was the original source material in the video, as it came from the Vault Disney block they had until 2002. The opening credits are the 1970s opening credits, which I used for every episode from this point forward.
If there are any others who I'm forgetting, please let me know so I can add them to the list of those to credit.
There's a chance that this video will be taken down, not allowed up, or I'll be asked to take it down. If I'm asked to, I willl take it down.

When I was a kid ( mid 60's) this was THE Sunday night program to watch.
Amen.
Ya, and when the ending music came on, you were filled with a sense of dread because you knew that was one of the last relaxing moments you would have, because SCHOOL was the next day.
@@hehmtube
yeah, I remember the same thing.
This was before Disney lost their minds...
After watching Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins.
@Liberty Tree That is awesome!!
Growing up in the 60's & 70's in America was like winning the lottery .
no disrespect but if you were the right color..
I had wished for 60 years to watch this program again. It's a sheer elation. I adore you uncle Walt.
This is the Disney I remember... So positive
This is back in the day when American wasn't so "multi-cultural", i.e., WHITE people built things and came up with innovations. I say that if we'd not gone down the "rough road" of liberal politics, we might indeed have flying cars as envisioned in the "Jetsons" and the "Back to the Future" film franchise. It's been almost five years since supposedly Doc Brown prevents a family tragedy in Hill Valley, CA, bringing 17 y.o. Marty and Jennifer from 1985 (they do get a glimpse that perhaps their respective futures won't be all they'd hoped for), and I'm still wondering where I can get my "Hover Conversion". I keep Googling "Goldie Wilson III" and no hep there.
@@selfdo ???
@@selfdo - You need to keep googling Walt Disney's name (not the Disney company but Walt's actual name and his vision of the future).😀
It's a good thing the interstates started in 1956, because they could never be built today.
Hear we are 6
almost 70 years later...gotta rebuild some "stuff" LOL!
Hope and uncle Walt... A beautiful dream... literal Hypnosis
If you look at this if only from a visionary standpoint, what a fun adventure for the imagination! I see all the comments about how not much has changed and how crappy things really are, but this allows us for a brief period of time to imagine how things could be, and how fun it would be if they really were. Yes the real world sucks, but I think Mr. Disney was trying to show us how wonderful the world could be if we all used our imaginations a little more.
If you fit in as for a visionary might be a little scary there's been some others that were visionary and it never seems to work out when it comes down to it he had some very disheartening beliefs make no mistake about it not someone that should be put on a pedestal
Ha Ha Ha! You're sure right! I do have a friend that builds freeways, roads & bridges. You CAN'T speed up how long it takes to cure concrete though. That's a lot of the hold up on why it takes sooooo long. You could hurry it up, but, like the (recent) condo in Florida...???!!!!!
I can't wait till 1975. The future looks so futuristic.
Well, some of the ideas from the future section are accurate.
Self driving cars. Cameras for rear and side views. Microwave radar for traffic sensing. Shipping containers that move between truck, train, ship and even aircraft without being unloaded. Larger, simplified and illuminated signage.
The amount of happiness that final segment brings me is immeasurable...
Incredible visions of the future from a '58 perspective...classic episode!
When I was a kid, my dad drove a 1962 ford ranch wagon. It had a big rust hole in the floor. Us kids would fight to sit near the door near it. So we could watch the highway.
This was what I lived for when I was a kid. The wonderful world of disney.
Man, I miss the future.
And this is why RUclips is still better than Disney Plus. I was really hoping episodes like this were going to be on the service. Oh well, stick to my bootleg dvds and to this amazing playlist.
Amazing as to how much they got right back then..
There were already freeways built, notably in Southern California (the Pasadena Freeway being considered the first in the US, being opened in 1940, though parkways existed in the East before), but the impetus to build the Interstates came from General, and then President, Eisenhower. He noted as the Allies advanced into Germany in March and April of 1945 the first "Autobahns", which ostensibly were showpieces of National Socialist achievement, but as the Wehrmacht relied far more on rail transport (being perpetually short on trucks and fuel), their net strategic effects was to help the invading Allied armies roll across Germany once they'd crossed the Rhine. Still, the lesson wasn't lost on Ike, whom felt that there still might be a threat of invasion of the USA on either coast, and there'd also been concern that the massive war production might never have reached Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific ports if critical bridges and tunnels were attacked and/or sabotaged. Hence why the Interstate System proposed and passed into law by the Congress in 1956 was pushed as "National DEFENSE" highways.
The reality, of course, was that although the Interstates would be very useful in event of national emergency, this was as much a massive Government boondoggle as anything else, being a payoff to the trucking industry, and, indirectly, the Teamsters. It also created the perception of need for the American car buying public, i.e., the new, more powerful V8s being put into cars went to waste around town (hence why many cars still sold with staid inline sixes), but once folks zipped along at 70 mph on the Interstate rather than fifty on the typical two-lane rural road, it fueled, no pun intended, the desire for more power drove Americans to buy bigger, faster, and more expensive cars.
It should be kept in mind that not everyone favored these new, high-speed freeways. Certainly the railroads, already facing competition from airlines, replete with many leftover transports from WWII, didn't care for a federal program that subsidized a competing travel mode. The most opposition came from the many small towns that were bypassed by these new interstates, as by then there was already a huge business for gas stations, restaurants, motels, and other businesses catering to travel by auto. Obviously, if the thru traffic could simply zip by rather than have to stop, there'd be less business! And many a rural municipality that filled their coffers by preying on passing motorists when the local cops issued rather questionable citations were not happy to lose a significant revenue stream. The routes for a lot of interstates had to bypass large cities, for, if nothing else, simply getting the right-of-way was a huge cost driver, and naturally, it was easier to build through cheaper rural land where, if anything, the locals welcomed it. Many towns in the Midwest have a "spur" or "bypass" route, often built over an existing highway, to carry freeway traffic in and out of town.
Needless to say, the Interstates have transformed America, facilitating not only relatively fast and free travel between major cities and the several states, they've also contributed to its homogenization. And while many small towns initially suffered if they were bypassed by these interstates, as they were filled with more traffic, states and counties could justify the expense of better highways branching off or crossing the interstates. Hence why they've facilitated the "exurb", as many small towns that are about an hour's drive from a major metro area became accessible once again and found their own appeal.
The "future" roads and cars are part Jetsons, part 1939 World's Fair Futurama, and part TV show set in the year 3000 Futurama.
Man, what a great way to slow down time and relax. Better mood already!
I can say that about any of the classic Disney episodes on my channel, or on other people's channels. Walt's programming did, and still does have a way of doing that, while being entertaining and informative at the same time.
cjs83172 Here ! Here !
Watching in 2020 and enjoying as I did in the 70s.
This is nuts.
Classic Disney is fantastic. Thank you for posting this.
The MISSILE at (3:55) looks like MY kind of ride!
Thanks for posting. I wish more of Walt's, WW of D was available to buy or stream. Loved these shows...still do.
41:00 those 3 predictions were correct, we do have navigation systems that tell us if there's traffic head, he have GPS that tells us the speed limit, and we have back up cameras
1958 was before the US Interstate system was even all connected. I remember a 20 mile stretch of I-94 in MN was still not done in 1968! (From Barnesville to Moorhead) We had to drive 5 miles north to get to SR 10 to get to Moorhead & to my college!

Excellent !!!
If you had a color TV in the 60s, you had lots of friends.
if you had anything bigger than 17" u had lots of friends as well

yeah I saw the Moon Landing on like a 14" B/W with roll in it. Never will forget it.
‘member seeing McHale’s Navy & The Monkees at a kid friend’s home. In Living Color. It was spectacular!
Talk about a little kid getting high. Those colors did it.
@@robertvillarreal4525
If I remember correctly my first color programs was 'The Invaders .. A Quinn Martin Production", then Lost in space, the Flintstones, Stingray and of course all the soap operas my mom watched during the day.
My uncle was the first in the family to have a color TV in 1962. Sunday nights the whole family watched TV while the men were in the basement shooting pool and drinking beer.
Aside from the fact that I just learned a ton, I love the flashback scenes that are featured in this series! When I was a kid I just assumed that these were vintage stock footage, but obviously looking back I realize they were photographed in the 50s. I wonder if they used vintage cameras to match the tint/hue of the true vintage footage, or was everything set a process lab and aged equally…?
As usual, Ward displays pure genius! Only he could find humor in such a dry subject. I found the final segment eerily prescient in its depiction of SELF-DRIVING CARS! Epcot fans will recall some of this material played in Horizons
Ward?? You mean Walt.
@@johnfranklin5277 - I think that Matt was referring to Ward Kimball, one of Disney's "Nine Old Men" animators, and a Disney Legend. He was also an Imagineer.

Any day now.
@ZV oh it's much worse than that. Go watch 2001 and realize all of that could've been reality if extremists in the environmental movement didn't hold all the power in western 1st world nations. Remember the Concorde? Welcome to going backwards on our journey into the new dark age
Or a Future home!
well what killed this idea is the Oil Crisis of the 1970s
Plus the reason this Super Duper Highway won't work is Environmental concerns
Plus the railroads do help get trucks off the highways via Piggy-Pack & Container
31:08
That is the Garfield Park elevated, and the highway that was built here made the line get removed. Chicago Aurora and Elgin inteurban cars took this line into Chicago. Because this line was removed, the interurban lost it's way to Chicago, and stopped running in 1957.
Often highways are purposely built on top of interurban lines.
100M by 1975 - they were close, it was actually 94M.
And that's scary, in a way, since 1975 was still some 17 years away when this was made.
what killed the 100M was the Fuel Crisis of the 1970s & the future of highways at the end of this show
Fantastic video! Thanks for posting it.
Thanks for the video it brings back memories of when I was a kid.
walt disnery was always thinking ahead
Really we are lost without him.
@@epcotman32 - our current overlord is the inventor of the internet: Al Gore. Author of 74 books (really, look it up), all of them anti-progress, anti-science, anti-car and Anti-America.
NEVER SAW THIS ! THANK YOU
Walt predicted the smart car
31:54 Hey, my grandfather used to drive one of those. Nice.
Anyone else notice the smoke coming from the stovepipe hat? LOL!
Yup! I thought that was pretty funny too!
at 4:00 " just driving along, towing my Newk "....lol.
This was made 63 years ago and it is amazing how they got the roads and cars of the future right. The radar to warn of other cars the rear view camera and all. Quite amazing
While some of the car concepts seen were absurd, it is amazing how much they were able to foresee, even in 1958. Granted, some of that, especially the roads, were already put into place, either as already existing roads or through the planning of the Interstate Highway System (which believe it or not, wasn't officially competed until a few years ago when I-95 was completed), but it was somewhat remarkable how much they actually got right, especially when it came to how badly our roads would be clogged with traffic.
man i miss this kind of optimism!
The Rear view Camera cam sure today :D
In 1958, Disney conceives a nuclear powered tunneling machine @42:00
In 1971, US Patent 3693731 A is granted.
Tom Swift Jr. invented his "Atomic Earth Blaster" tunnel boring machine in 1954 according to the copyright date on the book!
The Ford pavillion ride in 1964, included the primeval time scene with the animatronic dinosaurs. They moved to Disneyland as well, as 2nd scene of the diorama (Disneyland railroad) No visitor in Disneyland suspects this to be a former "FORD" feature ;-)
funny how they got to this vision 60 years after invention of car, we are now 60 years from this visions...
Absolutely Kino
Amazing
i wish they put all of these on dvds
Walt Disney World has huge chutes going to and from all areas of the park whereby the trash is shot through to one central huge microwave machine that incinerates it down to a tiny pile of ash, they thus dispose of a huge amount of garbage very cleanly and efficiently.
+Schuyler Johnson Was there any smoke or fumes as a by product or were those incinerated, too?? That's interesting!
Sounds like the death star
I've never seen this before but I like it!!!!!!
Wow the ideas for the future were pretty amazing, i wonder when will we actually reach that level
TranceMood2043 building of more highways isn't future. Normal public transport system is future.
Would you like the long answer or the short? Either way, you're in for a disappointment.
Nice post- thanks. Pretty much nothing predicted in the last 9 minute segment has come true in any significant way. Well we did get rear view cameras...
beloog99 - We also got radar-based adaptive cruise control!
I'm looking for a 50s-60's episode where they show bears in nature. It's in the recesses of my childhood memory, watching it on TV in the 80s or 90s but I can't remember. All I know is that it was from Disney and there was a narrator and it had that iconic 50s-60s music and the real life bears were getting into mischief.
10:00 filmed at Disneyland (oh, memories of pouring coffee at Market)
Look at all those, now, "classic" cars!!!
+Marlene Ansley hahahaha Yes! To see all that cars togheter , huge, nicest cars, very loooong, all chrome bumpers, big tails, elegant, full bicolors, (super American sizes cars) ooffff, I would like to live in that time, ending 1950's ... what a charm epoque, houses bungallows, neiborhoods
Don't want to burst any bubbles, but like any other time, it was a mix. Just for the cars, I'll take some of the style of the time, but I'll take the safety of today. No one looked to the future the way Disney did, and for those of us caught up in it, how bland today looks by comparison. One thing I miss from those times is that you could pretty much still fix most things yourself.
crist67mustang - I live in the most iconic 1950s suburb of all, Levittown, Pennsylvania. It is a wonder of mid-century modern design. It is almost Walt's idea of his concept for EPCOT. In fact, Levittown has a Walt Disney Elementary School!
Before Disney sold out, these were quality shows where you didn’t have to worry about rudeness, politics, or nudity. Something the whole family could watch
Unfortunately those times have changed. As has the world itself.
17:34 Dammit! Somebody tried to rush past the #sunrail train again. So many things they got right now and so many things are now just flights of fancy.
38:48 what a vision
this future is so much cooler
And now you have the hyperloop predicted by Disney in the testing stage.
At 42:15, the cantilevered skyway is a reality in Colorado on I-70.
Great memories....................
Walt Disney actually would never have been asked to deliver attraction products to corporate companies in 1964, if he had not been a partner in the USA pavillion in 1958 !... The different corporate companies were simple exhibitors there, and meeting each other "on the floor" was "natural". Ford Motor company sponsored the "America the beautiful" film in 1958 ! It started running at Disneyland, only in 1960.
Look at 44:35 - 44:38, image corner right under. There you see shortly a representation of the Brussels worldfair's ATOMIUM. Quite some of the other structures in the film also are reminicent to actual structures from the 1958 Brussels world fair, making up his tribute in this way. It's easy to understand. Disney was actually at the fair, delivering a circlevision film for the USA pavillion. That very same production (America the Beautiful) continued it's life in Disneyland & WDW (upgraded)
The 1939 Ford pavillion (NON Disney) , was very much the original predecessor of the Epcot 'Teast Track" ... ;-)
Disney did a LOT of attraction concepts collection work, from World exhibitions all over. Google on 'pictures' with ... /ny1939-ford.gif ... and see the first picture. RUclips does block url insertions)
I managed to catch a part of the animated film clip of Magic Highway USA from the Horizons ride at the time it was still operational and yes I still miss the Disney Channel a lot and hope they bring some of these programs to dvd soon
Autopia by Honda at Disneyland brought me here! 🚙 🚙 🚙
most of those roads haven't been paved since this film was produced
I just rode a section of PA 611 (formerly US 611) that was last repaved in 1940! Yes, it was done in concrete, not asphalt.
Some of these highway technologies have yet to be created. They’re coming.
Thanks to whoever.
3:17 these 10 seconds got a dangerous curve road ticket.
Sped up video.
Any idea where I can get this in DVD ? (Perfect gift for my son -- who works for Waymo :)
We do have some of the future things they are talking about
Here in the distant future year of 2020, all that we have that was predicted is GPS navigation.
I love the idea of what a car was supposed to look like in 1975. It didn't really progress much from that of 1958, outside of looking different. Although visionary, really nothing really changed much since 1958 in the forms of roads and highways. In fact we still have some of the old bridges that were built either before, or in 1958, and unfortunately some of our roads today are as bumpy, and damaging as those seen in the film in the turn of the century. And as I remember in Maine, the last concrete highways in that state were pulled up in 2008, surprising they would be used even into the 21st century. So while it is good to be a visionary one thing is certain, that one really has to think of what is real and what will always be a dream...
And some of those old bridges still in use include those on I-5 going from Downtown L.A. to the L.A/Orange County line that are just now being replaced with the reconstruction of that part of I-5.
remember, the real world is all about money and we are all going to die in a wasteland on this rock. there is no great big beautiful tomorrow.

Do you have any concept of what it was like to live in 1700, even as a KING? Much less a peasant? This is the great big beautiful tomorrow, and it's a pity you don't recognize it for the wonder that it is.
Gamers. What do you expect?
Yeah I have to give it to fuzzywzhe The Gamer Dragon. Remember, there is a lot humans can do. Even with the confines of corporate and institutional greed. We just need to *keep moving forward.* Plus, you sound like the bad guy from the _Tomorrowland (2015)_ movie.
That narrator also narrates "Sleeping Beauty". He also narrated, for UPA, "Gerald McBoing-Boing".
As well as the official films from the 1975 and 1976 Indianapolis 500s. He also voiced Aquaman in the 1967 Filmation series.
The future: everyone walking around in their phone 📱
10:04 is Main St at Disneyland.
can we go back to these times far as tv and only tv..
LOVE THE MUSICAL NUMBERS
One of my favorites is "Nation On Wheels" at 3:08. It actually works great heard through the car stereo on a crowded, fast-moving freeway at 70-75 mph! You can find the soundtrack version on RUclips without narration.
42:25 it's funny that they are actually advocating urban sprawl.
"Liberals" are aggressive, and/but MANIPULATIVE bee-otches. Glad to be unhappy, as a lyricist wrote, but demanding---as the petulant children they never stopped being---their way. And one other, last thing that's also the FIRST thing about them: WHATEVER the topic, DAMNED is anyone for what they do OR WGAT THEY DON'T.
-----Right along with this first/last comes first (a)/ last (a): Whatever the issue, if a "liberal"*does the SAME THING, it's HAILED by the liars of "news", the SUSPICIOUSLY WEALTHY faces of P.C."non-profits", the furrowed-brow set & of course the drugged-up pederasts of Celebrity. Am i right? You betcha. Would you EVER admit it? Of course not, which is why, as sooner or later even the dullest see thru "liberalism" (simply: most 20--year-olds are (& ALWAYS HAVE BEEN) "liberal"; by 40 MOST HAVE (& always have) BECOME less so) your only means of swinging MOST popular elections are myriad frauds, & making eligible folk otherwise ineligible. HOLD your incensed response. I know you have objection to each word i just said. You are high & mighty. You are OUTRAGED!
-----I am calm. I know "liberal" "outrage". I know the whole MANIPULATIVE, DISTRACTING playbook. Cuz i used to BE ONE. I even ran for OFFICE as a yout', as a (D) of course, got elected too. What a little PRICK i was, & a good thing i didn't stick at it. I don't speak this way out of ANY conceit, not AT ALL. QUITE the opposite, i speak in some fright yet: for generations (i use the term conscious of it's irony) "libs" have fawned over "youth" as if it's a virtue, even "former youths" in their SEVENTIES getting applause cuz they WERE the "youth candidate" FIFTY YEARS BEFORE---and they ALL are MEDIOCRITIES---
-----As are most OF us; but most of us DO NOT TELL OTHERS WHAT TO DO. Only "liberals" reach out to judge. "Urban sprawl"? There's no WAY to begin responding to an offering SO craftily negative AND HOSTILE: what does it mean to a Do: DAMN / Don't: DAMN person to remind that Demorats controlled most legislatures national AND state in the period documented here, & THEIR "LIBERALISM" borned suburbanization? To insert that, by the way, since CITIES (most CONTROLLED by Dems) are HELLHOLES such that "LIBERALS" live ELSEWHERE---IN the "SPRAWL" for SAFETY?
-----There's no engaging with a "liberal" anyway. You believe what you want---are yet SO well-trained that when a PERSON you hate AGREES with you, you THEN DOUBLE--DOUBLE-TWIST words & ideas to savage THAT---
-----Your "urban sprawl" is somebody else's FREEDOM. THAT'S your fundamental tiff. I don't know why EXACTLY cuz everybody's got their own experience (& i know you'd like to tinker with THAT too) but i can guess what's made you so grim. I return to First Principle, that "liberals" knock EVERYTHING. Having knocked it, they see if they can control it. If they CAN, they'll ADOPT the thing. If they can't, well, you know.
-----"Liberalism", AND "liberals", SEEK POWER OVER OTHERS. EVERYTHING THEY SAY IS A MANIPULATION, & IN THAT SENSE EVERYTHING THEY SAY IS A LIE.
-----"Liberalism" IS a mental disorder, but of a sort analogous to physical disorders that are circumscribed by the phenomena of immunology. Virtually every person goes thru a period of "liberalism", & most are cured of it. Uncured "liberals" seek to keep folk from being cured---NOT just by-the-way are DOOMED in that attempt---further on && another matter, they're DRIVEN to "other means" of tipping public contests---meanime, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. For instance, describe the result of "liberal" proposals FOLLOWED as "urban sprawl".
* NEVER has a word been so inaccurately applied.
@@angelsaltamontes7336 Wow, if ever there was a comment I won't bother reading, that's the one.
With each passing day, we continue to prove these prophecies wrong.
For example, In what way? I feel like we're doing everything wrong so we may be in an agreement? But I'm crazy I believe we we live in a petri dish hence the ice age I believe the pyramids were fake to give us the illusion that we were here longer than we were and the same with apes they were planted. As newborns we were raised under cloak and abandoned because the Creator knew that we loved and didn't want us to fill abandoned. Ect ect
(continued) When showing in Disneyland, suddenly Ford is absent, and Bell Telephone is sponsor. However, at the 1964 fair, Ford commissions Disney again. The Disney ride there (Magic Skyway) was actually, however, NOT a complete Disney concept, but a remake of the very similar Ford ride in 1939 ... where however, all cars "on track" of the spectacular ride were.... chauffeur driven ! ;-)
"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We KEEP MOVING FORWARD, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths"
- Walt Disney
He would certainly be angry if sees the current state of his company
It's funny (intersting and funny) that since 1958 some thing have not changed like they though may be some day. Routes and ways, high ways, freeways, streets, lanes, avenues are same like today 2016. USA was evidently pioneer in all those kinds of high speed ways for running all those cars. When I saw that scene when trees are fallen down, I though how msut be in '50 to see that, as part of advances of city... or some one felt sadness..? I say this be cause if well humanity actually is more individualist and egoist, at the same time the people today has more conciense about envoroment in general terms. Sorry my English, I'm not from the US. XD I love American things. As this footage for example.
I remember those sunday afternoons after lunch, Disneylandia (Disneyland) and all that wonderful chapters.

I'm not sure how the 2020's will be remembered, but it won't be for anything like what's in this video.
They underestimated the amount of cars that would be driven in the US in their graph at 21:57. There were actually over 130 million vehicles driven on US roads in 1975. Not a terrible estimate for 1958 though
Almost everything they talked about is a reality today.
31:08 🥺 Cancer Batman!! I can see the asbestos clouds in all the dust 🥲🖖🏼🇺🇸
I have always enjoyed The Wonderful World of Disney program every Sunday night in the early to mid 1970's as a child. This is a great film and very informative. I miss this program every Sunday. Not the same without it. Sincerely, Tony Jams, Mr. Rock & Roll @ www.youtube/anthonyjamroz.

at the worlds fair walt had a ride call the magical sky-way were u travel back time
"All 48 states"
Solo In 1958, there were 48 States
Hawaii and Alaska weren't admitted to the union until 1959, a year after this film was made.
And even if Alaska was part of the union it wouldn't be connected.
There are three Interstate highways in Hawaii: H-1, H-2 and H-3. All are on Oahu, and they have the lowest maximum speed limits of any state in the U.S.: 60 mph.
@1tiercel Which it does, being constructed in 1942-43 to facilitate supply to Alaska and forestall a Japanese invasion there. Of course, it's not the most "friendly" of passages, but you can do it, provided your ride is in good shape.
I’ve watched this before and I’m pretty sure at 4:52 they said “and wild aborigines.”
Must’ve removed it to air today.
They also cut the idea about separate lanes for men and women, where the woman's lane is shown as a disaster area.
The womens lane idea
lmao
