Roadway

A roadway is a thoroughfare, route, or way on land between two places that has been paved or otherwise improved to allow travel by foot or by some form of conveyance.

Overview
The majority of named roads throughout the wastelands are interstates, highways, state routes, and city-specific roadways. Many are named after local businesses. Alongside local roadways, there are also main pre-War interstates and highways that transect the region. Several directional street signs notating locations are found on or below overpasses or being repurposed as building materials. Some signs have worn away over time and are no longer legible, and some have been defaced with graffiti. The wear of some signs has inspired the names of post-War locations.

There are several different varieties of roadways, indicated by pre-War signs. National interstate signs are in the shape of a shield, colored in red and blue. State highways are seen as a similar shield shape but black and white. State routes are square or rectangular in shape in black and white, with the design varying between some states. City and directional signs are rectangular, green with white lettering.
