'''Highways''' are large main roads with multiple lanes, encircling or connecting cities in various GTA games. They become particularly relevant in the large-scale multiple-city game, [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. While many highways remain unnamed, some are given specific designations, such as in GTA San Andreas. | '''Highways''' are large main roads with multiple lanes, encircling or connecting cities in various GTA games.

*From GTA III to GTA | *From GTA III to GTA San Andreas, the main developers of GTA, Rockstar North, clearly had a poor understanding of roads in the United States. In GTA III and Vice City, expressway signs were based on signs in [[United Kingdom|Great Britain]], not the [[United States of America|United States]]. This was best demonstrated in GTA San Andreas, the first game to have a highway, as there could sometimes be more than four directions on one sign, uncommon in the United States. Signs became increasingly similar to those in the United States starting with GTA IV, but there were still some problems. Many signs in the US have Interstate/Route logos to indicate an intersection. Though you could see these signs, these were just blank U.S. Route signs and no Interstate signs in GTA IV. | ||
