List of United States highways

The highway network planned for November 11, 1926

United States highways are comparable to German federal highways . The first highways were planned in 1924 and opened in 1926. The designation "US Highway" is given by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Like the State Routes, they arefinanced by the individual states.

The numbering scheme recognizes one, two and three-digit numbers. The US highways with the numbers 1 to 101 are transcontinental highways. Even numbered highways run east to west, while odd numbered highways run north to south. Important north-south streets end with the number 1, important east-west streets with the number 0. The further the street is to the west or south, the higher the street number. In contrast, the Interstate Highways use a reverse numbering scheme. Street numbers over 101 are usually of minor traffic importance, they are numbered according to the main routes from which they are derived; for example, US Highway 331 is the third back road to branch off from US Highway 31 .

The former US Highway 66 is probably the most famous US Highway. The longest is US Highway 20 , which runs from Boston on the east coast for more than 5,400 kilometers across the continent to Newport on the Pacific.

This list contains the most important US highways ("Main Routes") with start and destination, length (in miles and kilometers), period of existence as well as feeder and bypass roads. The former US highways are marked in italics .
