"If you want to be rich, build roads first" is a common slogan in the early days of reform and opening up in the 1980s and 1990s, which shows the importance of traffic construction, especially highway construction. Because at that time, an important reason why economic development in many areas was restricted was that infrastructure was backward and transportation facilities such as roads could not keep up with the needs. Therefore, at that time, many people advocated giving priority to the development of highway-based transportation construction, and put forward the catchy slogan "If you want to get rich, build roads first".
