The answer is easy.

Because, fuck you: I'm an A10. That's why.

I agree. However;

That was a secondary purpose of the Autobahn, and what Eisenhower envisioned for the Interstate Freeway System, but they forgot about it around here.

I have heard that an interstate freeway has to have straight aways a certain length specifically to land planes on them in emergency situations.
