The Idaho Transportation Department is responsible for the establishment and classification of a state highway network, including 5,000 miles (8,000 km) of roads that are classified as Interstate highways, U.S. highways, and state highways.[1]
History
Instead of numbering its highways, Idaho had a system of lettered Sampson Trails in the 1920s.[2] They were marked by Charles B. Sampson of Boise at no expense to the state.[3] By the mid-1930s, the state had adopted a more standard system of numbered state highways.[4][5]
The following trails were marked:[2]
- A, Boise to Wyoming via Twin Falls and Pocatello; became US-30 and US-30N
- B, Boise to Canada via Lewiston and Coeur d'Alene; became US-30, US-30N, US-95, and SH-1
- C, Pocatello to Montana via Idaho Falls; became US-91 and US-191

- E, not on the 1926 map
