The year 2006 was the golden\r\nanniversary, or the 50th birthday, of the Dwight D. Eisenhower\r\nNational System of Interstate and Defense Highways. This system, usually\r\nreferred to as The Interstate Highway System, is a system of freeways named\r\nafter the U.S. President who supported it. The system is the largest highway\r\nsystem in the world, consisting of 46,876 miles (75,440 km) of freeways. The\r\nconstruction of the interstate highway system is an important part of American\r\nhistory. It has played a major role in preserving and maintaining the America way of life.
The interstate highway system has\r\nseveral major functions. One of its major functions is to facilitate the distribution of US good. Because the\r\nintestate passes through many downtown areas, it plays an important role in the\r\ndistribution of almost all goods in the United States.\r\nNearly all products travel at least part of the way to their destination on the\r\nInterstate System. Another major function of the interstate is to facilitate\r\nmilitary troop movement to and from airports, seaports, rail terminals and\r\nother military destinations. The Interstate highways are connected to route in\r\nthe Strategic Highway Network, which is a system of highways that are vital to the U.S. Department of Defense.
Today, most of the Interstate system\r\nconsists of newly constructed highways. The longest section of the Interstate\r\nsystem runs from Boston, Massachusetts to Seattle, Washington. It covers\r\n3,020.54 miles. The shortest two-digit interstate is from Emery, North Caroline\r\nto Greensboro, North Caroline. It covers only 12.27 miles. All state capitals\r\nexcept five are served by the system. The five that are not directly served are\r\nJuneau, AK, Dover, DE, Jefferson City, MO, Carson City, NV, and Pierre, SD. The\r\nInterstate Highway System serves almost all major U.S. cities.
EACH Interstate highway is marked\r\nwith a red, white, and blue shield with the word “Interstate,” the name of the\r\nstate, and the route number. Interstate highways are named with one or\r\ntwo-digit numbers. North-south highways are designated with odd numbers; east-west highways are\r\nnamed with even numbers. The north-south Interstate highways begin in the west\r\nwith the lowest odd number; the east-west highways begin in the south with the\r\nlowest even numbers. There all mile markers at each mile of the interstate\r\nsystem, starting at the westernmost or southernmost point on the highway. Every\r\nInterstate highway begins with the number “0”. Interchanges are numbered\r\naccording to their location on the highway in relation to mileage; an exit\r\nbetween milepost 7 and milepost 8 would be designated “Exit 7.” This system\r\nallows drivers estimate the distance to a desired exit, which a road is leading\r\noff the highway. Despite the common acceptance of the numbering system on the\r\nInterstate highways, some states have adopted different numbering systems. For\r\nexample, a portion of the Interstate 19 in Arizona is measured in kilometers\r\ninstead of miles since the highway goes south to Mexico.
Since the Interstate highways are\r\nfreeways-highways that do not have signs and cross streets – they have the\r\nhighest speed limits in the nation. Most interstate highways have speed limits\r\nbetween 65 – 75 miles per hour (105 – 120 kilometers per hour), but some areas\r\nin Texas and Utah have an 80 mile-per-hour (130 kilometer-per-hour) speed\r\nlimit.
The federal government primarily\r\nfunds interstate highways. However, they are owned and operated by the\r\nindividual states or toll authorities in the states. The federal government\r\ngenerally funds up to 90% of the cost of an Interstate highway, while the\r\nstates pay the remainder of the cost.

The year 2006 was the golden\r\nanniversary, or the 50th birthday, of the Dwight D. Eisenhower\r\nNational System of Interstate and Defense Highways. This system, usually\r\nreferred to as The Interstate Highway System, is a system of freeways named\r\nafter the U.S. President who supported it. The system is the largest highway\r\nsystem in the world, consisting of 46,876 miles (75,440 km) of freeways. The\r\nconstruction of the interstate highway system is an important part of American\r\nhistory. It has played a major role in preserving and maintaining the America way of life.
The interstate highway system has\r\nseveral major functions. One of its major functions is to facilitate the distribution of US good. Because the\r\nintestate passes through many downtown areas, it plays an important role in the\r\ndistribution of almost all goods in the United States.\r\nNearly all products travel at least part of the way to their destination on the\r\nInterstate System. Another major function of the interstate is to facilitate\r\nmilitary troop movement to and from airports, seaports, rail terminals and\r\nother military destinations. The Interstate highways are connected to route in\r\nthe Strategic Highway Network, which is a system of highways that are vital to the U.S. Department of Defense.
Today, most of the Interstate system\r\nconsists of newly constructed highways. The longest section of the Interstate\r\nsystem runs from Boston, Massachusetts to Seattle, Washington. It covers\r\n3,020.54 miles. The shortest two-digit interstate is from Emery, North Caroline\r\nto Greensboro, North Caroline. It covers only 12.27 miles. All state capitals\r\nexcept five are served by the system. The five that are not directly served are\r\nJuneau, AK, Dover, DE, Jefferson City, MO, Carson City, NV, and Pierre, SD. The\r\nInterstate Highway System serves almost all major U.S. cities.
EACH Interstate highway is marked\r\nwith a red, white, and blue shield with the word “Interstate,” the name of the\r\nstate, and the route number. Interstate highways are named with one or\r\ntwo-digit numbers. North-south highways are designated with odd numbers; east-west highways are\r\nnamed with even numbers. The north-south Interstate highways begin in the west\r\nwith the lowest odd number; the east-west highways begin in the south with the\r\nlowest even numbers. There all mile markers at each mile of the interstate\r\nsystem, starting at the westernmost or southernmost point on the highway. Every\r\nInterstate highway begins with the number “0”. Interchanges are numbered\r\naccording to their location on the highway in relation to mileage; an exit\r\nbetween milepost 7 and milepost 8 would be designated “Exit 7.” This system\r\nallows drivers estimate the distance to a desired exit, which a road is leading\r\noff the highway. Despite the common acceptance of the numbering system on the\r\nInterstate highways, some states have adopted different numbering systems. For\r\nexample, a portion of the Interstate 19 in Arizona is measured in kilometers\r\ninstead of miles since the highway goes south to Mexico.
Since the Interstate highways are\r\nfreeways-highways that do not have signs and cross streets – they have the\r\nhighest speed limits in the nation. Most interstate highways have speed limits\r\nbetween 65 – 75 miles per hour (105 – 120 kilometers per hour), but some areas\r\nin Texas and Utah have an 80 mile-per-hour (130 kilometer-per-hour) speed\r\nlimit.
The federal government primarily\r\nfunds interstate highways. However, they are owned and operated by the\r\nindividual states or toll authorities in the states. The federal government\r\ngenerally funds up to 90% of the cost of an Interstate highway, while the\r\nstates pay the remainder of the cost.
