There are federal standards for funded roads. You see lots of guard rails on them. Local roads tend to protect known hazards and area of frequent crashes. Sometimes locals can get federal assistance. You see this when a local road goes under an interstate. The approach for so many feet must be enhanced. They want to be able to park heavy military equipment like tanks on them.
