§ 136‑178. Purpose anddescription of Intrastate System.
(a) The IntrastateSystem is established to provide high‑speed, safe travel servicethroughout the State. It connects major population centers both inside andoutside the State and provides safe, convenient, through‑travel formotorists. It is designed to support statewide growth and developmentobjectives and to connect to major highways of adjoining states. All segmentsof the routes in the Intrastate System shall have at least four travel lanes exceptthose for which projected traffic volumes and environmental considerationsdictate fewer lanes. When warranted, segments of the Intrastate System shallhave vertical separation or interchanges at crossings, more than four travellanes, or bypasses. Access to a route in the Intrastate System is determined bytravel service and economic considerations.
Funds allocated from the TrustFund for the Intrastate System are primarily intended to be used to completethe projects listed in G.S. 136‑179. If Intrastate Trust Funds assignedto a distribution region through the provisions of G.S. 136‑17.2A cannotbe used for projects listed in G.S. 136‑179, then they may be used forprojects on the following route segments or corridors:
