5 USA States

U.S. Route 95 (US 95) is a north–south U.S. highway in the western United States.

Unlike many other US highways, it has not seen deletion or replacement on most of its length by an encroaching Interstate highway corridor, due to its mostly rural and mountainous course.

Because of this, it still travels from border to border and is a primary north–south highway in both Nevada and Idaho.

This is one of the few US Routes or Interstate highways to cross from Mexico to Canada.

US 95 begins in the United States at the border with Mexico at Mexico's Federal Route 2.

It then follows the Colorado River northward to San Luis and on to Yuma, where it goes through town and crosses I-8.

As it leaves Yuma, US 95 is an undivided two-lane highway which passes through the U.S. Army's Yuma Proving Ground.

It then travels northward between the proving ground to the west and the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge to the east until Quartzsite.

Here it merges with I-10 and runs concurrent, heading westward for 17 miles (27 km) until the Colorado River, where it enters California, just shy of Blythe.


In all, US 95 spends 123.16 miles (198.21 km) in Arizona.

U.S. 95 enters California at Blythe through a concurrency with Interstate 10.

It travels largely parallel to the west bank of the Colorado River until it joins Interstate 40 in Needles.



Nevada

US 95 in Nevada is a divided highway between Cal-Nev-Ari (the SR 163 junction to Laughlin) and Boulder City.

It joins at the interchange as a multi-lane divided freeway past SR 173 and as part of the concurrent route of I-11 and US 93 in Boulder City.

Upon entering the Las Vegas Valley, I-11 ends at I-215 and SR 564 and I-515 begins here in Henderson. It is also concurrent with I-515 and US 93 between Henderson and Downtown Las Vegas. It crosses I-15 at the Spaghetti Bowl, where I-515 ends here and US 93 continues north on I-15.

The highway continues as a freeway for several miles until again becoming a divided highway at Corn Creek Road northwest of the Las Vegas Valley.

Shortly after entering Nye County, US 95 becomes an undivided two-lane highway past the Mercury interchange, as it meanders northwestward through the state, roughly paralleling the California state line.

Along this route it runs through the Amargosa Valley serving Beatty before heading north

It then heads north to the border with Oregon at McDermitt, a distance of 73 miles (117 km).

Oregon

The highway heads north-northeastward to the Idaho state line, entering southwest of Marsing in Owyhee County.

The speed limit on US 95 in Oregon was 55 miles per hour until March 2016, when it was raised to 70 miles per hour in order to match the speed limits set by Nevada and Idaho.

US 95 is designated the I.O.N. Highway No. 456 (see Oregon highways and routes), with the I.O.N. for Idaho–Oregon–Nevada. This section of highway is a primary commercial route between Boise and northern California, connecting to Interstate 80 at Winnemucca, Nevada.

US 95 crosses into the Mountain Time Zone approximately 35 miles (56 km) north of Nevada.

Idaho

US 95 is an undivided two-lane highway during most of its length in Idaho, which is over 538 miles (866 km).

US 95 enters Idaho from Oregon in Owyhee County, about 50 miles (80 km) southwest of Boise. It passes through Homedale and crosses the Snake River before a junction with concurrent US 20 and US 26, which run together for eight miles (13 km).

As it proceeds north, US 95 crosses I-84 and US 30 before going through the Payette National Forest. Immediately after Riggins, the highway re-enters the Pacific Time Zone as it crosses the Salmon River.

US 95 follows the descending river, then climbs over White Bird Hill to the Camas Prairie, then descends the Lapwai Canyon to the Clearwater River

US 95 becomes a four-lane divided highway after crossing the river east of Lewiston; it runs concurrent with US 12 

It becomes an undivided highway in Moscow and continues north to Coeur d'Alene, crossing I-90. US 95 goes north to Sandpoint, where it joins with US 2, after which the highways run concurrent until after Bonners Ferry, where US 2 heads east to Montana and US 95 continues north to Canada, meeting BC 95 at the Canadian border.
