As a corollary to this, Alaska should have several motorway and/or trunk
roads, regardless of whether or not they are interstates, fake interstates,
paved, unpaved, divided, undivided, etc.  I would assume they are paved, and
I would assume they connect between the major cities in Alaska and/or with
major cities in Canada.  But I have no idea what other criteria they might
meet.  I'm sure someone more familiar with Alaska can do so.
