Athens Federation Department of Transporation

The Athens Federation Department of Transportation (AFDOT) is a publicly funded, federal transportation department in the Athens Federation. It was founded in 1972. The AFDOT manages all highways in the Interstate Highway System, except Interstate 15. It also manages parts of the Athens Federation Highway System that are not located in city limits. 
The AFDOT does not have control of most roads in individual cities, which is why road standards are variable. However, the AFDOT does have its criteria for highways: 
* There must be a yellow road dividing lane in 2-lane roads
* Each lane must be at least 2 meters wide. 
* Interstate highways must have at least 2 lanes of traffic in each direction
* Interstate highways are not allowed to have traffic signals or at-grade intersections 
This is not always true in non-AFDOT managed roads. Cherkasy is known for its distinctive red lane dividing lines. Many cities, such as Norlander and Novo-Arkhangelsk have white 2-way dividing lanes. Athens has yellow dividing lanes on one-way roads in some areas, which also goes against AFDOT criteria.
