 Definition of United States highway
The United States Highway System is an integrated system of roads in the United States numbered within a nationwide grid.
As these highways were coordinated by the United States Federal Government in the early days, they are sometimes referred to as Federal Highways.
The numbers are coordinated by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), in which the only current federal involvement is a non-voting seat for the U.S. Department of Transportation.

 History of the US Highway System
Before the Interstate Highway system brought fast, limited access highways to the United States, there was, and still remains, another nationwide system of highways that enabled travelers to follow standardized routes to any part of the nation.
Giving highways throughout the United States a standard numerical designation was a radical idea but at the same time fit in with other innovations at the time.
It appears the original plan was for the Interstate Highways to be co-signed and routed with their corresponding US highway and from about 1960 to 1964 this is exactly what the Division of Highways did.
