So far as practicable, priority in the matter of construction with motor

municipalities and communities not upon any State highway, or not upon
federal aid highways which may now or may hereafter be designated, with
such highways; and county highways shall be selected for construction
according to their relative importance from the standpoint of traffic needs
and county-wide service and so as to make available as rapidly as
practicable continuous or connected improved traffic routes, such selection
to be made by the county board with the approval of the Department.
