List of Idaho State Highways

The Idaho Transportation Department is responsible for the establishment and classification of a state highway network which includes the interstate highways, U.S. highways, and state routes. These routes are listed below.

History

Instead of numbering its highways, Idaho had a system of lettered Sampson Trails in the 1920s. They were marked by Charles B. Sampson of Boise at no expense to the state. By the mid-1930s, the state had adopted a more standard system of numbered state highways.

The following trails were marked:

• 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

• H, Bliss to Trude via Arco; became SH-24, SH-23, SH-22, SH-29, and an unnumbered road (today's US-20 and US-26)
• I, Pioneer to Idaho Falls; became an unnumbered road
