Those roads are probably for police and military so they can arrive quickly in case of invasion or citizens becoming uppity.

Which was also the real reason Hitler built the Autobahn (or rather, continued and expanded the plans that already existed).

Also why the US highway system was built, btw. The president who championed it, Eisenhower, was the commander of US allied forces during WW2. While there were other benefits, his goal was to be able to quickly transport troops in the event of a Soviet invasion.
