The United States Interstate system is one of the largest systems of roadways in the world. At least one interstate runs through each of the 48 contiguous states. As shown in the [[#Street Signs|Street Signs]] section, the United States Interstate system primarly uses a sign with white lettering, a blue background, and a red heading at the top which reads "INTERSTATE". Occasionally, an Interstate will have white lettering with a completely green background, and it will typically have "BUSINESS" as the header instead of "INTERSTATE". Either way, both signs signify you are on an Insterstate. | The United States Interstate system is one of the largest systems of roadways in the world.
