[edit] History

Instead of numbering its highways, Idaho had a system of lettered Sampson Trails in the 1920s.[1]


[edit] Interstates

Interstate 15 At 200 miles in length, it traverses through Pocatello, Blackfoot, and Idaho Falls.
Interstate 84 Crossing through the "heel" of the Idaho "boot", this interstate passes through Boise, near Twin Falls, and other smaller towns.
Interstate 86 Located entirely within Idaho, it stretches from Interstate 84 in Heyburn to Interstate 15 at Pocatello.
Interstate 90 The 73-mile segment of interstate highway boasted one of the last traffic lights on the interstate highway system at Wallace.
Interstate 184 This spur connects Interstate 84 travelers to downtown Boise.
