And weren't interstate highways designed partially with aircraft making emergency landings in mind? Or is that like urban legend misinformation?
They were absolutely designed with military transportation in mind. And I’ve never seen powerlines or trees that crossed an interstate so I’m inclined to believe that was considered if not intended!
I wouldn't be surprised at all if use by military aircraft was a design consideration, it's been done in Europe, notably Sweden.
