Understanding that your English is not the best, please try to add some explanation. Where are you trying to create this layer? Also keep in mind when you "Capitalize" something, that makes it a name, like Ranna. Words like Question and Road are not names, so do not capitalize them. Finally, plurals. If you are creating a layer of something, there is probably more than one, so do you mean national roads?

Are you trying to make a layer of roads to be used in a geographic information system (GIS)?

Or maybe http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles2012/main - Under "select a layer type" click roads, and then "Download national file"
