Hey there kiddo! So do you know what a highway is? It's a big road that lots of cars can drive on to get from one place to another really fast.
Now, imagine that there are some people who really like the idea of building more and more highways everywhere. They think it's a good idea because it makes it easier for people to get around and for goods to be transported.
These people are called the "highway lobby." They're like a group of adults who talk to other adults who make the rules about building roads and highways. They try to convince these decision-makers to spend more money on building new highways and expanding the ones we already have.
But, not everyone thinks this is such a great idea. Some people believe that building too many highways can actually be bad for the environment and make traffic even worse! They might argue that instead of building more roads, we should find other ways to help people get around, like public transportation or biking.
So, think of the highway lobby as a group of people who really like highways and want to see more of them built. And just like there are different opinions about whether or not that's a good idea, there are different opinions about the highway lobby as well!
