Principal arterials under MAP-21

Should "principal arterials", under Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), be added to the Overview section? The official memo from NHS, "Updated National Highway System Maps", dated September 28, 2012, would seem to suggest so. Does the prose about "Other Principal Arterials" at the main official NHS webpage refer to these same roads?

Also, the main NHS webpage distinguishes between the Strategic Highway Network (STRAHNET) and Major Strategic Highway Network Connectors, while the article currently has the rather confusing and ungrammatical prose, "The Strategic Highway Network (STRAHNET) of importance to the United States' strategic defense policy including links from major military installations and this Strategic Highway Network", for both. This looks, IMO, like it should be reworded and/or expanded, but I'm not a subject matter expert concerning this topic. Thanks, fellow roadgeeks!! --Chaswmsday (talk) 18:24, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

STRAHNET

Just something I noticed: The STRAHNET redirect on this page redirects to this page. I don’t know if that’s how it should work, but maybe it shouldn’t be a redirect? 2600:100D:B057:A934:A44E:F662:4FF2:D73F (talk) 20:04, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

STRAHNET highways are part of the National Highway System. What do you propose? –Fredddie ™ 01:31, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
