Figure 3-7. Major Truck Routes on the National Highway System: 2035

The number of NHS miles carrying large volumes and high percentages of trucks is forecast to increase dramatically by 2035.  Segments with more than 10,000 trucks per day and where at least every fourth vehicle is a truck are forecast to exceed 14,000 miles, an increase of almost 230 percent from 2002.
