The interstate highway system makes long-distance travel by car fast and
convenient. Interstate highways are clearly marked with numbers: odd numbers
mark north and south routes and even numbers mark east and west routes. Such
toll roads as turnpikes, thruways and parkways are part of the interstate
system. The speed limit on all highways is 55 miles per hour unless otherwise
posted. Remember that 1 mile=1.6 kilometers.
