Today's question is courtesy Swapnaa. The clues are in chronological order. Connect them. The person in the first visual is not very well-known. So, as an aid in googling, let me tell you his first name is Horatio.Answer: The visuals are Horatio "good roads" Earle, the Lincoln Highway and Eisenhower. These visuals represent the chronological evolution of the U.S Interstate system. Earle inspired the Lincoln Highway which was the first road across the U.S and Eisenhower in turn was inspired by the Lincoln Highway to enact the National Interstate and Defense Highways act of 1956. Iam, Shweta, Ragu, Vetti and Avinash got it. Well done.
Aside: Answers to Question-200 are up as well.
