General description: | ||||||
Interstate highways:
Odd 1- and 2-digit numbers are generally north-south routes, while
even numbers are east-west routes. Numbers increase in eastbound and
northbound direction respectively.
3-digit numbers are derived from a 1- or 2-digit number by pre-appending a digit.
If this digit is odd, the highway is a spur into a city. If it is
even, it is a route through or around a city.
3-digit numbers are designated in each state separately, there can be
many Interstate highways with the same number in different states.
E.g., there are seven Interstates 295.
A road can consist of several different parts without connection,
e.g. there is an I-84 from Portland to Salt Lake City and another from
Scranton to Hartford and Boston. Obviously, there is no planned intermediate
part, as for instance for the A4 in Germany, which has a 120
km gap. In accordance with the numbering system, main east-west routes
between I-80 and I-90 have even numbers between 80 and 90, and several
may have the same number, as long as confusion is avoided by a large distance between them.
The network includes two-lane highways without level crossings.
In text, Interstate highways are generally referred to as 'I-[number]', though IH is also used, especially in Texas. | ||||||
US highways: Odd numbers under 102 are generally north-south routes, while 2-digit even numbers are east-west routes. Numbers increase in westbound and southbound direction respectively. This rule is applied less strictly than the corresponding one for Interstates. 3-digit numbers are derived from a 1- or 2-digit number by pre-appending a digit at the beginning. These routes are either parallel or lateral to the routes they are derived from. US highways are sometimes motorways. They usually do not have exit numbers. For a list of all US highways, see Route list. | ||||||
State highways: State highways are the only type of highways which exist in all states. Each state has its own system and its own shape for state highway shields. Often this is the shape of the state itself, but squares, circles and other shapes are also used. Some states have primary and secondary state highways and there are also other types of numbered roads, like county highways (which are usually numbered per county). For more details see the region table. | ||||||
Exit numbers: Mostly by mileage, but sometimes sequential, especially on older roads. | ||||||

Prefixes and suffixes for all road classes: | ||||||
Compass directions are added as prefixes to indicate the direction to which
a road leads. These are never indicated on maps. This should be distinguished from compass directions as suffixes, which
indicate the side of a split road or the position of a spur.
Other affixes (may appear either as prefix or as suffix, depending on the state): | ||||||

History: | ||||||
Interstate highways: Although the first motorways in the United States were already opened for traffic in the 1920's, the Interstate numbering system was introduced only in 1956. Some numbers were changed later, see this map from 1957: Interstate and Defense Highways. | ||||||
US highways:The US system was developed according to the 1921 Federal Highway Act and adopted in 1926. | ||||||
State highways: The first state highway numbering scheme was adopted in Wisconsin in 1917. | ||||||

Florida | A1A; [0-9]<1-4>{A} | Primary | Integrated system, odd north-south, even east-west. All US and Interstate highways have a State highway number.
Sub classes: Odd 1-/2-d numbers increase to the west, even 1-/2-d numbers increase to the south. 3-d numbers begin with the same digit as east-west routes nearby, and increase to the west. For example, between highways 70 and 80, one finds: * Even 2-d numbers 72-78 * Any odd 2-d numbers * Even 3-d numbers beginning with 7 and increasing to the west * Odd 3-d numbers beginning with 7 and also increasing to the west 4-d numbers are rare. The first digit matches 3-d numbers nearby (and implicitly even 2-d numbers as described above). Multiples of 100 are diagonal routes. | ||||
