	Interstate Highway
		By initial planning, the Interstate System was designed to be able to move traffic at speeds of 75 to 80 miles per hour (120 to 130 km/h) except in limited stretches (such as steep mountain passes) where Many vehicles cannot maintain such speeds.
		In 1974, the maximum speed limit allowed on interstate Highways (along with all others in the country) was reduced to 55 mph (90 km/h) as a gasoline conservation measure in response to the 1973 energy crisis.
		On even-numbered Interstates, mileage increases to the east and decreases to the west; and on odd-numbered Interstates, mileage increases to the north and decreases to the south.

	Historical Overview
		In 1968, Interstates 284 and 484 were added, part of an extensive list of now-cancelled expressways in metro Hartford.
		The new highways, proposed to fill gaps in the network or serve future needs, were never built, as the political climate changed and we learned more about construction, traffic, and their effects.
		Interstate 84 was widened to six lanes from Massachusetts to Vernon, and eight to 12 lanes from there to East Hartford.

	2002 Conditions and Performance Report: Chapter 8
		The size of the gap between an investment requirement scenario and current spending is dependent on the investment requirement analysis and the underlying assumptions used to develop that analysis.
		The estimated gap has been reduced to 65.3 percent ($42.2 billion) in 2000, and is projected to further decline to an average of 56.6 percent ($38.7 billion) annually from 2001 through 2003.
		The primary reason for the decrease in the gap between current spending and the cost to improve is the increased Federal funding under the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) and larger highway capital outlays by State and local governments.

	Interstate 90 information - Search.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Interstate 90 (abbreviated I-90) is the longest interstate highway in the United States at over 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers).
		It is arguable that Interstate 280 (Ohio) is as much a spur of Interstate 90 as it is of Interstate 80 because Interstate 80 and 90 designate the same highway (the Ohio Turnpike) in northwestern Ohio.
		Additionally, it is part of the longest interstate triplex in the country, as it is joined with I-39 and I-94 from Portage, Wisconsin to Madison, Wisconsin.

	Origins of the Interstate Part 2 of 7
		The alarming invasion of road funds evidenced in recent years, climaxed by the diversion of hundreds of millions of highway dollars to uses utterly foreign, and accompanied by the crippling of state highway departments and grave cessation of construction activity, can only be stopped by arousing public opinion to the fighting pitch of positive action.
		The bubbling good roads booster, with his sentimental appeal, must be replaced by the highway economist armed with sound plans, fundamental facts regarding the dividend producing aspects of improved highways and convincing proof of the equity of proposed highway tax collection and distribution.
		The highway departments were required to submit a list of the amount of money proposed for each of the 3 categories of roads and a list of the counties where the projects would be located.

	JEFFERSON COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Jefferson County Planning Commission 1994
		Highway engineering professionals define highway problems based on documented traffic flow problems (Level‑of‑Service, comparisons of actual volume versus designed capacity, etc.) and accident rates (number and severity of accidents relative to exposure as measured by vehicle miles).
		On the other hand, the public perceives highway problems by experienced congestion, knowledge of individual accident occurrences, severity of a particular accident and perceived potential hazards such as poor sight distance.
		The final program of highway improvements usually is based on a mix of engineering analysis and public concern.

	Ross (AR04) - Newsletter - A Real Medicare Benefit
		Highway 167, which connects El Dorado in Southern Arkansas to Interstate 20 at Ruston, has already been four-laned in Arkansas and has been approved for expansion in Louisiana; however, the Louisiana work is not slated to begin until 2010.
		Right now Highway 167 from Ruston to the state line presents a huge gap and a missed opportunity for new commerce, new jobs, and new travelers in our region.
		A crowd of approximately 350 residents and leaders from communities along the highway heard comments from Alexander, Ross, and other state and local officials including Arkansas Highway and Transportation Director Dan Flowers, who presented his justifications for speeding up the time table for highway construction on Highway 167 in Louisiana.

	High Priority Corridors @ AARoads.com: Interstate 49 (Corridors 1 and 37)
		Interstate 49 will connect to Interstate 10 via the Westbank Expressway (Business U.S. This route, which is Interstate-standard, has been proposed to be added to the Interstate system as Interstate 910 for a 9.7-mile segment from Interstate 10 to the end of the elevated West Bank Expressway.
		Interstate 49 construction between Lafatyette and Shreveport began in the early 1980s and was completed by the mid-1990s.
		According to the Louisiana DOT Press Release: Identification of the Preferred Alignment, the location for the Interstate 49 alignment was based "on input received at public meetings held March 31 and April 1, 1998, and February 2, 1999, at which the preliminary highway alignment locations for the North-South Expressway were presented and discussed.

	List of gaps in Interstate Highways - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		True gaps are where two sections of road are intended to be part of the same Interstate, but the two sections are not physically connected, or are only connected by non-Interstates, or are connected but the connection is not signed as part of the highway.
		Probably the best-known and significant of the Interstate gaps, I-95 is discontinuous in Lawrence Township, New Jersey (near Trenton).
		The road filling the gap, a section of US 3, is built to freeway standards but has only one lane in each direction to avoid adversely impacting the Old Man of the Mountain; such a road is known as a two-lane freeway.

	High Priority Corridors @ AARoads.com: Interstate 99/U.S. 220/U.S. 15 (Corridor 9) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Interstate 99 is in its present location because it is written into law; in fact, in 1995, Interstate 99 was the only interstate to have its interstate definition written into law (see the NHS Legislation Page; it's really there!).
		It is cosigned as Interstate 99 and U.S. At Interstate 99's southern end, its connection with the Pennsylvania Turnpike involves signalized intersections (off the mainlines of both Interstate 99 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike).
		According to Rep. Shuster, the Interstate 99 freeway between Bald Eagle and State College is necessitated by the safety considerations of U.S. 220, an historically dangerous stretch of highway that currently carries Interstate 99 traffic from Bald Eagle northward.

	California Highways (www.cahighways.org): Exit Numbers
		More specifically, the post mile system was developed in concert with the building of the interstate highway system in the 1950s; the use of exit numbers became a federal requirement in 1971.
		In 1971, the Division of Highways conducted a pilot project on 5 different routes in the Los Angeles area to evaluate the benefits of exit numbering.
		Where an Interstate Business Loop/Spur consists of more than one freeway route joined by freeway to freeway connectors, exits off of these connectors should be numbered as freeway interchange exits.

	Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (I-278)
		The "Brooklyn-Queens Connecting Highway," which was to be financed by Federal, state and city funds, was proposed as an express bypass through heavily built industrial, commercial and residential areas.
		For a brief period in late 1958, the expressway was proposed to carry the I-87 designation from EXIT 32 (Williamsburg Bridge / Metropolitan Avenue) north to the Triborough Bridge (and thence to the Major Deegan Expressway); I-278 was to begin at the Williamsburg Bridge exit and continue to the south and west.
		To compensate for the safety shortcomings, the highway was reduced from six lanes to four in some locations, and the speed limit was set at 45 MPH throughout the length of the highway.

		I-670 is another urban interstate with a history and construction cycle spanning many decades.
		In September 1995, the federal planning document "General location of national system of interstate highways", also known as the "Yellow Book", depicted an inner beltway for Columbus; this would eventually be constructed as parts of I-70, I-71, OH 315, and I-670.
		Establishment of Interstate Route 670: Beginning at the intersection of Interstate Route 70 and a new facility under construction in Columbus, then easterly and northeasterly over the facility for 10.7 miles to the intersection of Interstate Route 270 east of Columbus.

	Guidelines
		The gap should be established before the ride for the sections of road to be traveled.
		When approaching the interstate or a limited access highway, you should gradually increase your speed while on the entrance ramp as you see that you'll be able to merge on to the interstate.
		When you are leaving the interstate or highway, try to maintain a speed that will allow all of the bikes to exit without being on the interstate and having to ride at an extremely low speed.

		As noted in earlier sections, the National Register of Historic Places is the nation's official listing of cultural resources, which conveys recognition of their importance to the nation and the community and affords these properties some measure of protection from government actions.
		Similarly lacking is any means of formally listing historic properties in a register of historic places that would highlight their importance and give official recognition to their contribution to Pima County's history and culture.
		The Board maintains a listing of properties, which serves as a municipal historic register and the criteria for designation is based on the National Register criteria as it is elsewhere.
