The first highway in the world is considered to be the Great North Road in the United Kingdom, which was constructed during the Roman era, around 43 AD. It connected London to York and facilitated trade and military movement. However, if referring to a more modern context, the Germany Autobahn, established in the 1920s, is often cited as one of the first true highways designed for high-speed travel.
