Roads and Highways
Descriptive
Summary
In 1914, Arizona had 12,075 miles of roads, but only 2% of these roads were paved. The same year, the Secretary of State licensed 5,040 motor vehicles. The increasing number of motor vehicles led to an increased demand for good roads. The Arizona Good Roads Association formed 1910, and in 1916 the Federal Highways Act gave states funding to finance highway building.
