Westernmost and southernmost?
[edit]Considering Hawaii's southernmost location and the fact that H1 seems to reach the farthest south, would it not be valid to say that Interstate H-1 is officially both the westernmost and the southernmost Interstate highway in the US?—WhosAsking (talk) 08:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Wait.. what?
[edit]Interstates - in Hawaii?!? Why aren't these called Intrastates? There is no way any of these roads will ever connect two states, or even connect to roads that go into other states. Makes absolutely no sense to call them interstates no matter how wide they are. Zaphraud (talk) 04:06, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, but it's not our decision on what to call them. From Interstate highway#Terminology:
- "While the name implies that Interstate highways cross state lines, many do not (for details, see List of intrastate Interstates). Rather, they are funded federally with money shared among the states. There are Interstate highways in Hawaii, funded in the same way as in the other states, but entirely within the populous island of Oahu. They have the designation of H-x and connect military bases, though they are open to public use. Both Alaska and Puerto Rico have public roads that receive funding from the Interstate program, although these routes are not signed as Interstate highways (except on paper). These roads are neither planned for, nor built to, official Interstate highway standards."
