contents We perform intensive computations of Generalised Langton's Ants, discovering rules with a big number of highways. We depict the structure of some of them, formally proving that the number of highways which are possible for a given rule does not need to be bounded, moreover it can be infinite. The frequency of appearing of these highways is very unequal within a given generalised ant rule, in some cases these frequencies where found in a ratio of $1/10^7$ in simulations, suggesting that those highways that appears as the only possible asymptotic behaviour of some rules, might be accompanied by a big family of very infrequent ones.
