		There are interstate highways in Hawaii, funded in the same way as in the other states, but entirely within Hawaii.
		In the eastern US, sections of some interstate highways planned or built prior to 1956 are operated as toll roads, and are often called turnpikes.
		On maps and the road, the highway is indicated by a number on a red, white and blue sign in a shape of a shield.

	Interstates In Hawaii
		For the most part, the Interstate System is a connected network of highways bound by the Canadian and Mexican borders, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
		That same year, Section 105 of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1959 directed the Secretary of Commerce, where the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads (BPR) was located at the time, to study the need for Interstate routes in Alaska and Hawaii.
		Although Hawaii's Interstate highways are not connected to those in the continental United States, they are built to Interstate standards.

	The US Interstate Highway System: 40 Year Report
		Interstate high occupancy vehicle lanes provide a form of mass transportation that cannot be provided by conventional mass transit services, providing commuters with door-to-door convenience, and faster and more efficient access to the entire metropolitan region, not just the downtown markets to which efficient mass transit services are necessarily limited.
		Interstate highways, which carry nearly one-quarter of the nation's surface passenger transport and 45 percent of motor freight transport, accounts for a considerable portion of this employment and economic activity.
		While estimates for the interstate highway system alone are not available, the efficiency and substantial role of the interstates leads to a reasonable presumption of their important contribution to international competitiveness.

		Alaska is almost all public land; you can get out anywhere to walk through the heather, smell the cottonwood trees by a roaring river, or feel the cool air of a bright midnight on your cheek.
		Alaska has plenty of miles —; plenty of 100-mile stretches, in fact — that are as boring as driving through a tunnel of brush can be.
		Alaska Highway (Route 2 from the border to Delta Junction): Running nearly 1,400 miles from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, to Delta Junction, Alaska, a couple of hours east of Fairbanks on the Richardson Highway, this World War II road is paved, but that doesn't mean it's always smooth.

	The Superhighway to Everywhere
		A study for the Federal Highway Administration found that drivers using interstates in and around large cities spent about 25 hours per year in traffic jams in 1982; by 2002, the annual waiting time was more than 60 hours.
		Still, the interstate system is a quantum leap ahead of the haphazard collection of country roads that Eisenhower set out to fix when he entered the White House in 1953.
		On Thursday, the official birthday of the interstate system, the cross-country caravan is to arrive at the Zero Milestone on the Ellipse in Washington, the place where Eisenhower's convoy started a journey that would have momentous implications for American drivers.

		The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1938 directed the chief of the Bureau of Public Roads (precursor to today's Federal Highway Administration) to study the feasibility of a six-route national toll road network.
		Interstates 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 35, 40, 70, 75, 80, 90, 94 and 95 are all more than 1,000 miles long.
		Interstates carry nearly 60,000 people per route-mile per day, 26 times the amount of all other roads, and 22 times the amount of rail passenger services.

		ALASKA: Backers of the Knik Arm Bridge say they will look to private funding for the $600 million bridge that will connect Anchorage to Point Mackenzie.
		Popularly known as the Super Slab, it would be an alternative for commercial truck traffic, railroads and hazardous waste transportation around the heavily congested I-25 urban areas.
		MISSOURI: In May, the Legislature approved a plan that would allow a $910 million bridge to be built between St. Louis and Illinois by a public-private partnership with the right to collect tolls.

	Alaska wilds lie conveniently along 'interstate'
		Intrepid travelers headed to rugged, remote and staggeringly vast Alaska may be pleasantly surprised to discover that one of its most stunning stretches of interstate is conveniently located and tidily packaged.
		Alaska's 1,000-plus miles of interstate and Puerto Rico's 250 miles, for example, are exempt from meeting some of the system's design standards.
		The latter is extremely difficult because most of the first 50 miles of Alaska 1 skirt the base of the craggy, normally snow-covered Chugach Mountains, which rise abruptly to more than 4,000 feet and are visible to the left as you head southeast.

	Alaska Travel by Car Rental
		Alaska is about 1/5 the size of the United States, so you probably won't have a chance to see it ALL
		An Alaska car rental will be the most economical choice of travel options for your Alaska adventure.

	Facts about the Wisconsin Interstate system - Department of Transportation
		I-90 is the nation's longest Interstate highway (3,021 miles) and passes through 12 states: Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts.
		The shortest two-digit Interstate in the nation is the 12-mile I-73 between Emery and Greensboro, North Carolina.
		Three-digit Interstate highway numbers represent bypasses or spurs attached to a primary Interstate highway and carry the numbers of the adjacent "parent" Interstate (I-794 and I-894 in Milwaukee).

	Alaska Roads - Interstate ends photos
		Alaska 2 continues past the interchange (under the overpass barely visible near the left edge of the photo) as the Steese Expressway bypass through east Fairbanks, then as the Elliot Highway to Manley Hot Springs.
		Interstate A-2 ends here; Interstate A-1 follows the rest of the Alaska Highway, from the international border to this intersection, then continues west on the Tok Cut-off.
		This August 2007 photo is from Sterling Highway (Interstate A-3 southbound to this point, and also Alaska 1 southbound continuing beyond the intersection) where it intersects with unnumbered Kenai Spur Highway branching off to the right.

	Interstate Highway Shields @ Interstate-Guide.com
		Currently, we are missing a few shield pictures for Interstates in the gallery, and we are always interested in obtaining different perspectives or better overall photographs for any shield.
		The Interstate highway shield has undergone a few revisions since its first appearance in 1958, with subsequent modifications made in 1961, 1972, 1979, 1988, and 2000 to the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
		We challenge anyone to find an Interstate shield with the word "Oregon" or "Utah" in it: Dan Stober found only one state-name standalone shield in the Beehive State, and we were able to locate just one for Interstate 70 in Fishlake National Forest on 10/18/04.

	State Traffic and Speed Laws
		Alaska has no legislative statutory speed limit but the state DOT has established unposted speed limits by regulation.
		As an exception, state law defines the speed limit to be 65 MPH on certain highways in Delaware and Massachusetts.
		Except in Texas and Alaska the maximum two lane speed limit is lower than the speed listed here: typically 65 in the west half of the country and 55 in the east.

	"Let Us End American Colonialism"
		In pleading the cause of the Territory, Alaska's Attorney-General John Rustgard argued that both the Treaty provisions and the specific extension of the Constitution to Alaska by the Organic Act of 1912 rendered the discriminatory clause unconstitutional.
		Alaska's delegate, at that time, the late Dan Sutherland, testified that the Seattle terminal charges on shipments to Hawaii or Asia were only thirty cents a ton, and all handling charges were absorbed by the steamship lines, the result of competition between Canadian and American railways and steamship lines.
		But the keepers of Alaska's colonial status should be reminded that the 18th century colonials for long years sought merely to obtain relief from abuses, for which they--like us--vainly pleaded, before finally resolving that only independence would secure for them the "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness," which they felt was their natural right.

	Public Roads (Summer 1996) - Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956: Creating the Interstate System (Sidebars)
		In addition to converting a part of his father's highway, from Wilmington to Dover, into what one historian has called "the first important arterial highway to adopt the dual roadway technique," du Pont played a major role in planning the Delaware Memorial Bridge, the longest suspension span in the world when it opened in 1951.
		Highway construction was an important issue to Fallon.
		Even before the 1952 election, he told Hearst Newspapers, "The obsolescence of the nation's highways presents an appalling problem of waste, danger and death." Eisenhower also said that a modern network of roads is "as necessary to defense as it is to our national economy and personal safety." He never wavered from these views.

	Hawaii Highways -- FAQs page 4
		Most 3-digit Interstate routes on the mainland are entirely in one state, as indeed are many 1- or 2-digit "mainline" Interstate routes (such as I-4 in Florida, I-12 and I-49 in Louisiana, and I-27, I-37, and I-45 in Texas).
		When Alaska and Hawaii were admitted to statehood, Congress ordered a study of whether the new states should get Interstate highways.
		Something kind of like the original proposed extension of Interstate H-1 east to Koko Head was pursued by Hawaii DOT up to at least 1980, specifically a controversial proposed rerouting of about eight miles of the Kalanianaole Highway (state route 72) inland north of Koko Head.

		Homer is probably one of the larger cities/towns in Alaska with a population consisting of 4,000.
		After all, a lane on the highway is something like 11 to 13 feet wide depending on what part of the country one is in, and this appears to reach from one side of the lane to the other.
		Most of the highways are one lane in each direction except for in cities such as Anchorage, with 250,000 souls where the highways grow to three lanes in either direction.

	California Highways (www.cahighways.org): Interstate Highway Types and Interstate History
		In a letter dated November 8, 1957, G.T. McCoy of the Department of Highways recommended that I-5 become I-11, to allow assignment of I-3 and I-5 to the Bay Area (for the San Francisco Bay circumferential routes, which later became I-280 and I-680).
		In the map that accompanied the November 1957 letter proposing I-76, I-505 is shown proposed as I-7, and I-580 is shown as I-72.
		California officials suggested two-digit Interstate assignments for some routes that are now three-digits: I-9 for what ultimately became I-405; I-12 (then I-14) for what became I-210, and I-13 for what became I-605.

	Pedestrian Accidents on Interstate Highways - Findlaw for the Public -
		These agencies owe highway users a duty to exercise reasonable care, so when a highway defect contributes to a pedestrian injury on the interstate, the agency (and its contractors) may have legal responsibility for failing to correct the defect.
		Given the speed of motorists on a highway, it is not surprising that pedestrian accidents happen because the motorist didn't have time to avoid hitting the pedestrian.
		Pedestrians injured on interstate highways may be in the roadway because of a previous crash.

	Frank Turner, Father of the Insterstate Highways
		In the 1950's, Eisenhower, for whom military concerns were always paramount, foresaw a system of highways linking the far corners of the country to allow the rapid movement of the military and the rapid evacuation of civilians in case of an attack by the Soviet Union.
		The modern interstate highway system was born June 29, 1956, when President Eisenhower signed the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, which provided for joint federal and state funding of interstate highways.
		In the literal sense of the words, however, Turner was a man of the highways, from Alaska to the Philippines, the only Federal Highway Administrator to rise through the ranks and to bring a firsthand knowledge of the gritty realities of highway construction to the office.
