The United States highway system was set up in 1926 by the nation to ease motorists in interstate travel. It numbered cross-country routes in a constant, recognizable scheme. Many of these route numbers were simply thrown together from existing state highways. It is the forerunner of the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System, initiated in 1956.
