  California @ WestCoastRoads - Interstate 40
If California 58 is upgraded to Interstate standards at least as far west as Interstate 5, it is possible that it might be nominated for inclusion in the Interstate Highway System as an extension of Interstate 40.
Interstate 40 prepares to ascend to Mountain Springs Summit, and a truck lane (third right lane) is added to accommodate the slower traffic.
Much of the area north of Interstate 40 between Exits 107 and 78 is part of the Mojave National Preserve, which extends north all the way to the Nevada State Line and Interstate 15 as it heads northeast from Baker.

  Interstate Highway standards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Standards for Interstate Highways are defined by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in the publication A Policy on Design Standards - Interstate System.
For a certain highway to be considered an Interstate, it must meet these construction requirements or obtain a waiver from the Federal Highway Administration.
Even though a handful of Interstate highways have substandard elements, many freeways with non-Interstate designations are up to Interstate standards.

 ORoads: Interstate 105 (and Oregon 126's Eugene Freeway Portion)
Interstate 105 began construction around this time and was completed between Laura and "Q" Streets (near current Exit 5) and Coberg Rd. (current Exit 2) in 1960, coinciding with Interstate 5's completion between Albany and Eugene.
Interstate 105, however, escaped the chopping block, and was eventually completed in Springfield to Main Street (then US-126, now OR-126 Business) in 1971 and in Eugene via an elevated section from W 1st.
The interchange with Interstate 5, like all other Interstate termini in Oregon, is not numbered except on one sign heading westbound on OR-126 as the freeway approaches the I-5 North ramp; it is labeled on an exit tab and a gore sign as Exit 4B.

Interstate 86 is a planned Interstate upgrade to New York State Route 17 along the Southern Tier Expressway and the Quickway.
The idea for creating Interstate 86 was revived in 1996 by a student from the University of Pennsylvania, Samara Barend of Vestal, who hammered her idea into shape during an internship with Moynihan's office.
The entire road, from Interstate 90 near Erie, PA to the NYS Thruway/Interstate 87 at Harriman, is four-lane, divided (except for the six-lane section in the Binghamton area and various climber lanes in the Catskills).

 EPA: Federal Register: Creditworthiness Standards for Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines
The Commission is proposing here to standardize the collateral requirements applicable to shippers who fail to meet the creditworthiness standards of the pipeline's tariff.\21\ This proposal is intended to ensure that shippers using multiple pipelines will not be exposed to disparate collateral requirements depending on which pipelines they choose to use.
The standard does not specify when a non- creditworthy shipper must post collateral to have its bid considered, nor does it address what happens to the allocation of capacity in a bidding situation where the winning bidder is non-creditworthy, but other bidders are creditworthy.
Standard 5.3.zF, which we propose to incorporate by reference into the Commission's regulations, provides that a pipeline should provide notice to the original releasing shipper reasonably proximate in time to when it gives notice to the releasing shipper's replacement shipper(s) of an event pertaining to the replacement shipper(s) creditworthiness.

 Interstate Compact: Regulating the Profession as Practiced
An interstate compact is a contract between states that allows them to solve multistate, regional, and national problems through voluntary agreement.
Massive changes to standards setting and regulation were triggered in 2001, when the continuing series of corporate scandals began.
An interstate compact for accounting regulation would focus on states’ commonalities, and its statutory basis would help reestablish credibility for the profession’s self-regulation.

In 1982 Interstate 75 was extended northward from US 301 to Big Bend Road just outside Apollo Beach, including an interchange for the future southern terminus of Interstate 275 as the new Sunshine Skyway Bridge was not built yet and the old Sunshine Skyway did not meet interstate standards.
As for the rest of Interstate 75, in the late 1980's construction was taking place on the segments in the Ft. Lauderdale-Miami area and in Naples, Interstate 75 was extended from Collier County Road 846 southward to FL 84 and the western terminus of the Alligator Alley.

 PUBLIC ROADS On-Line (Summer 1996) - Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956: Creating the Interstate System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Because the interstate system "is preponderantly national in scope and function," the report recommended that the federal government pay most of the cost of its construction.
Interstate funds would be apportioned on a cost-to-complete basis; that is, the funds would be distributed in the ratio which each state's estimated cost of completing the system bears to the total cost of completing the system in all states.
A key difference with the House bill was the method of apportioning interstate funds; the Gore bill would apportion two-thirds of the funds based on population, one-sixth on land area, and one-sixth on roadway distance.

 Interstate 295 (New Jersey)
The sections of I-295 constructed after it became eligible for Interstate highway funding reflect the stringent standards required for such roads: 12-foot-wide lanes, 12-foot-wide shoulders, 1200-foot-long acceleration and deceleration lanes, and a design capacity ranging from 40,000 vehicles per day (AADT) on four-lane sections to 75,000 vehicles per day on six-lane sections.
