3 The purpose of the United States (U.S.) umbered ighway System is to facilitate travel on the main interstate highways, over the shortest routes and the best available roads. A route should form continuity of available facilities through two or more states that accommodate the most important and heaviest motor traffic flow in the area. The routes comprising the ational System of nterstate and Defense ighways will be marked with its own distinctive route marker shield and will have a numbering system that is separate and apart from the U.S. umbered ighway System. For the convenience of the motorist, there must be continuity and a uniform pattern of marking and numbering these nterstate routes without regard to state lines. The U.S. umbered System was established in 1926 and the nterstate umbered System was established in Both have reached the period of review, revision, and consolidation. They now need perfecting rather than expansion. Therefore, any proposed alteration in the established systems should be extremely meritorious and thoroughly, though concisely, explained in order that the Special Committee on U.S. oute umbering and the Standing Committee on ighways of the Association may give prompt and proper consideration to each and every request made by a member department. xplanation and easons for the equest: (Keep concise and pertinent.) Proposed nterstate is a mile four lane divided full access control arterial that was designed and built to existing interstate standards. The entire route is open to traffic and is currently signed as State oute. Proposed - is a logical addition to the nterstate System and serves nterstate travel not provided by another nterstate route. The termini at -40 east and west of the Metro ashville Urban area, along with the connection to - and -65, creates a system linkage that offers reduced distance and travel times between a variety of destinations. The designation of Proposed - would also promote the comfort of both the motoring public and the freight industry with the expectancy of safe and expedient travel on an nterstate facility built to modern design standards.
