The US Interstate Highways are limited access highways that serve the United States. Interstates can vary in length from under a mile to stretching across the entire country.

For many trips, the interstate highways are the most efficient way to travel by automobile between two points. Being limited access highways, interstates do not have traffic lights except on rare occasions. They typically have speed limits of 55 miles per hour (90km/h) or more – portions of I‑10 and I-20 in rural western Texas and portions of I‑15 in rural central Utah have a speed limit of 85mph (140km/h) – and are well maintained

Speed limits

Like most other roads, all interstate highways have speed limits. The limits, which are controlled and enforced by state and municipal police departments in the respective states where they are located, can vary, depending on the laws of that state, the volume of traffic, and other factors. Typical speed limits range from 55-75 miles per hour, though there are exceptions both above and below this.

In the past, it was widely accepted that there was a grace of 10 mph above the speed limit before tickets would be issued. This has changed in most states though, as excessive speed has been found to be the most common cause of fatal accidents. Now, in most states, tickets are routinely issued for speeding violations less than 10mph above the speed limit, and in some cases, for going just 1mph above. To avoid this, it is preferable to travel below the speed limit altogether in the presence of a police unit or out in the open where one may appear suddenly.

Other ways to avoid speeding tickets are as follows:

• Periodically check the vehicle behind you to be sure it is not a police unit. If it is, you are safe provided you follow all traffic laws and your vehicle is not otherwise suspicious. A police unit may not always be easy to identify because different makes and models are used in each jurisdiction, and some units are unmarked. And at night, it is even more difficult to identify one due to the lack of light.

• Watch the vehicle in front if you, as police set up speed traps ahead as well. If its brake lights turn on, it may be because of a police vehicle. For speed traps that are ahead, the police units often position themselves so they can see you before you see them.

• Travel in the middle of a pack of vehicles. This reduces the likelihood your vehicle will be targeted, as officers can most easily spot the vehicles in the front and back.

• If no other vehicles are on the road in your vicinity, be especially careful to obey the speed limit and other traffic laws. If there is only one vehicle in the presence of a police unit, the officer has more time to look for a violation committed by that vehicle.

• Use the left lane for passing only, and avoid remaining there longer than you need to be. The left lane is typically the fast lane, and that is where officers look for speeders the most.

• Use cruise control if you have it to make sure you do not accidentally exceed the speed limit. At the same time, be aware that speed increases when moving downhill, even while on cruise control, and in some places, this is where officers love to catch speeders.

• Do not go at a speed above that of other vehicles that stands out. If you are the driver who is weaving in and out of traffic and passing all the rest, officers will take notice of this.

• Driving a more neutral colored vehicle makes you less of a police target. Bright or unusual colors, such as red and yellow, tend to stand out more.

Tolls exist on some interstates and are particularly common on interstates located in the Northeastern United States. Tolls could be either for the highways themselves or for bridges along the highways.

Some of the tolls on Interstate Highways for cars are (this list is currently incomplete, not always up to date, and may vary from prices listed by time of day or method used to pay):

This toll is described by signs as being for the entire Delaware Turnpike, though it only needs to be paid if traveling between these two exits. The toll can be avoided southbound by taking exit 1 north, turning left on Christiana Parkway (DE-4/896), and left on Elkton Road (DE-2/MD-279), then re-entering I-95, or the reverse while traveling northbound. This takes an additional 10 minutes.

Maryland: The Millard Tydings Bridge over the Susquehanna River has a $8.00 toll for northbound travelers. The Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore also charges a $4.00 toll for traffic in both directions.

I-295 (Delaware)

The Delaware Memorial Bridge has a $4 toll for those travelling southbound.

Rest areas

On many interstates are rest areas where motorists can stop to take breaks. Rest areas are usually equipped with rest rooms, and many have various other facilities to meet the needs of travelers.

In the absence of a rest area or one with the facilities one needs, another option is to exit the highway and find a place off the highway that meets those needs.

If you choose to do this, for your own safety, observe your surroundings. Be sure to stop in a well-lit area with plenty of other people present. Before choosing an exit, be sure re-entry in the same direction is possible.
