Drive west along Interstate 10 (or I-10). The red and blue sheild shaped signs mean an interstate hiway (usually the best multi-lane divided roads). The older white sheilds mean US Hiway (US 70). Rectangular signs are generally state hiways, round ones county roads. I know, more than you wanted to know...:-D Anger is the most impotent of passions. It effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the one who is possessed by it more than the one against whom it is directed. Carl Sandburg

Someone from the U.S., just as someone from Code Project is a CPian.

Wouldn't that make you a UKian? "Capitalism is the source of all true freedom."

What Rob said. Also, the 10 along the smaller yellow is either called 10-bypass or business-10. A bypass is an offshoot of a highway that runs through a busy area, and typically handles traffic trying to bypass the city. Business, on the other hand, will typically bring you closer to the heart of the busy area. In this case, I would guess it's called business, since it looks like it heads into town. BW

I'm not the only Code Project member who's used those names, I copied it off someone else (UKian I think, I really don't remember it was so long ago).

Sometimes two highways travel the same road. "Drive West on I-10" or "Drive West on Highway 70" Both will work. Letting the person know that both highways combine is optional. It might confuse the person or help them. Don't know if you need it but this covers some USA driving tips: http://www.usatourist.com/english/tips/driving.html[^] Later, JoeSox "Why do writers write?

I-10 or Hwy 70, both works. Actually, As a German I find the street numbering/naming is the one thing the USians got right.

Even numbers run east to west; increasing to the south Principal routes are one or two digits (abbreviated as 2dus) and end in 0: US 10 to US 90 Existing range is US 2 to US 98 Odd numbers run north to south; increasing to the west Principal routes are one or two digits (with a single three digit exception) and end in 1: US 1 to US 101 Existing range is US 1 to US 101 Increments of low-order digits fill in the grid e.g. US 20, US 22, US 24, ... US 30 - Even Numbered e.g. US 21, US 23, US 25, ... US 31 - Odd Numbered In addition, an increment of 3rd high order digits (3dus) denote branch highways or spur routes. e.g. US 166, US 266, (US 366), (US 466), (US 566), (US 666) US Divided-number Routes are of the form nd where d is {N|S|E|W} e.g. US 70N, US 70S and (US 99E), (US 99W). :-D Marc MyXaml Advanced Unit Testing YAPO
