in the lower 48, most of the time an Interstate designation is a
motorway. but there can be exceptions. and in Alaska and Hawaii, the
roads have to be examined on a case by case basis. congress choose to
give those two states latitude so they could get funds from the program
even though they were unlikely to actually build real "motorways".
