The National Highway System is a system of roads administered by the FHWA (see Question 4.1 ) that receives special funding from the federal government. It was started with ISTEA (see Question 4.3 ) in 1991. All Interstates are in it, but not all US Routes. Many state routes are included and even some city-maintained routes. More information is at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/hep10/nhs/ , as well as in the text of the United States Code Title 23, Section 103 ( http://frwebgate.access.gpo.

The Interstate system has been deemed adequate to handle the navigation task the US routes used to provide in many areas. Many state legislatures have adjusted their numbering systems over the years to make bookkeeping easier, and eliminated US routes or portions of them in the process. Since 1956, when the Interstate program was implemented in full, the mileage of the US system has decreased from 162,358 miles to 150,934 miles in 2004, or a net loss of 7%. Sep 26, 2004

I-465 on the east side of Indianapolis, IN, between the US-36/SR-67 and US-40 exits, also carries US-31, US-36, US-40, US-52, US-421, SR-37, and SR-67, for a total of 8 routes on one highway, though only I-465 is posted along this stretch as all other routes following I-465 except I-74 have a sign reading "FOR [route shield][direction]/FOLLOW [I-465 shield]/to Exit [number]" on the onramps where they enter I-465 (see http://illi-indi.com/showFull.php?id=1452§ion=34652 ).

In 1944, Congress authorized construction of an interstate expressway system connecting major cities and industrial centers. No money was involved in the bill. The project never took off until the awarding of the first contract for I-70 in Missouri, in 1956. North Dakota was the first state to complete its Interstates.

KY-2920 near Lawrenceburg in Anderson County is recorded as 0.007 mile (equal to 36.96 feet - see http://www.kytc.state.ky.us/planning/sprslistings/sprs.htm ). VT-26 in Lemington, formerly touted as the shortest, is officially recorded as a rounded 0.01 mile, equal to 52.8 feet (photos at http://www.roadgeek.org/waste_of_film/page5.html ), but is actually 69 feet long, making it longer than both KY-2920 and KY-2250 in Louisville (0.009 mile, equivalent to 47.52 feet).

VA's George Washington Memorial Parkway has the "secret" inventory number of 90005, with the Dulles Access Road and the Colonial Parkway elsewhere in the state being numbered 90004 and 90003 respectively. http://www.vahighways.com/route-log/va800-999.

The Trans-Canada Highways is over 7000 km long and stretches from Victoria, BC, to St. John's, NL. It is more of a special marker than anything, it changes numbers frequently, has a few loops and spurs (eg Northern Ontario and to PEI) and can range from a 2 lane country road through BC to an 8-lane superhighway through downtown Montreal. The TCH is just an agreement among the provinces for one highway linking the entire country.

SNMA National Headquarters is located at 5113 Georgia Ave in the Northwest quadrant of the District of Columbia. The building was purchased by the SNMA in 1999 and is the center of the daily operations of the SNMA. Each year there are several opportunities for SNMA members to interact with each other through Regional Conferences and the National Annual Medical Education Conference. Regional Conferences are held in each of the 10 regions of the SNMA in the fall.

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is the nation's record keeper. Of all documents and materials created in the course of business conducted by the United States Federal government, only 1%-3% are so important for legal or historical reasons that they are kept by us forever.

Achieving national accreditation is top priority for our institution and a critical requirement for the school and our students. The accreditation of any institution of higher learning is a process, and application for American Heritage University accreditation is underway.

National currency is soum. 1 soum = 100 tiyin. $1 = 1288, 74 soum (as of December 24, 2007) All foreign currencies can be exchanged in major banks. The preferred currencies are US dollars and Euros (Cash). In country cities there are difficulties with exchange, advice to do all changes in Tashkent or ask your Tour leader/driver. Tourists should have enough cash US dollars (new dated notes in best condition) for most expenses.

James Lin has a site ( http://www.routemarkers.com/ or http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~jlin/signs/ ) with graphics of every state highway marker, and many for Canada, Australia, Europe and Southeast Asia. The original source of most of the U.S. images on that site is the 1979 edition of Federal Highway Administration's pamphlet United States Road Symbol Signs (stock number 050-000-00152-1, OCLC number 5591604), which may be out of print.

A - A highway letter was a document that certified that a building owner had the proper "road", "curb" and "sidewalk" in front of a new or altered building. This has been replaced by the filing of the Builders Pavement Plans application.

In South Carolina, control of nuisance wildlife and animal damage is the responsibility of the individual property owners. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) provides the public with a means of obtaining assistance with nuisance wildlife problems. These individuals and companies are in the business of wildlife control and they do charge a fee for their services.

No!! The magnets are highway tested and very strong. Just be sure your magnet is flat against the car so air cannot get underneath ... no air bubbles or turned up corners. (Warning: they will come off in the automated car wash!)

A melange of strongly worded suggestions spiced with red-hot nuggets of law signposted by numerous MUST and MUST NOTs. Its purpose "is to prevent accidents by ensuring that we all adopt the same rules when we use the road." You're advised to purchase a copy at the nearest convenient bookshop [or read it online], absorb its almost biblical wisdom as some would have it, then simply follow Sgt. Esterhaus' advice on that old American TV show Hill Street Blues: Let's be careful out there.

a. Same design principles but in many cases the signs are smaller. The size of highway signs is determined by the speed limit so signs in a 40 mph area are larger than signs in a 30 mph. Most sites are working with 5, 10, 15 and 20mph speed limits, so the signage can be designed to suit that environment. Keep the layout, fonts, text and colours the same as MOT signage and the message to the driver simple. If you own a UK approved driver’s licence, you should know what the signs mean.

OHV recreation is just one of the many uses allowed on National Forest lands. OHV travel is regulated by the OHV travel plan; check with the closest Ranger Station for specific areas. It is your responsibility to know and abide by regulations relating to motor vehicle travel. State law requires registration of all motor vehicles before being operated on public lands.
