Early motor routesThe Good Roads Movement established in May 1860 agitated for better roads for bicyclists. At the turn of the 20th Century, interest in the bicycle began to wane in the face of increasing interest in automobiles. In 1913 the Lincoln Highway Association was formed to plan and promote and sign a highway suitable for automobiles using existing roads from Times Square in New York City to San Francisco, California. This was a success and was followed by the development of named auto trails throughout North America. Most of these were subsequently been converted to numbered Interstate highways.
