Route 66, also called the “Mother Road,” is the most famous road in North America. It connects Chicago to Los Angeles, and its history is closely related to the rise of cars and interstate travel. In the 20th century, Route 66 became a symbol of freedom and opportunity for millions who made the trip west across the United States. As the number of car owners increased in the early 20th century, modern roads were needed to transport goods from the industrialized east to the recently settled west.
66 號公路，也被稱為「母親之路」，是北美最著名的公路。它連接芝加哥至洛杉磯，其歷史與汽車和州際公路旅行的興起密切相關。二十世紀時，對數百萬穿越美國向西岸旅行的人來說，66 號公路成為了自由和機會的象徵。隨著二十世紀初汽車駕駛人的數量增加，需要現代化的道路將貨物從工業化的東部運輸到近期有多人定居的西部。
