The biggest issue involving the highway system is the pollution that comes from all of the cars. France has a highway system similar to the US's in terms of the usage. Both highways are designed for freight and personal use, however in France, private vehicle use of highways is discouraged in certain cities, so people use bicycles instead.
Also, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration there were 25,580 fatal car crashes in 2012.
